The typical architecture of Amsterdam with its narrow facades is due to the method of property taxation which calculated taxes according to the space occupied by the land on the street (its width).
The multitude of canals (over 150) is the charm of
Amsterdam. A short cruise on the canals will allows you to enjoy a different perspective on the city.
The beautiful
Anne Frank Museum traces the history of the German occupation and the life of Anne Frank.
Along the canals are house boats of all shapes and colours.
The Royal Palace (Koninklijk Paleis) located in a large square in the centre of Amsterdam is worth a visit. It was originally built as a town hall.
Windmills that symbolize the Netherlands are increasingly rare.
