Informazioni sul libro
Did you know that Amsterdam has more canals than Venice? With over 165 canals, it’s possible to travel up to 100 kilometers (61 miles) on the water in the city limits.
Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. If it’s your first time here, beware of the cyclists! They say that there are more cyclists in Amsterdam than its population! Make sure to look both ways out everywhere, not just on the roads! With an estimated over 1 million bicycles in the city, Amsterdam cycle lanes function like highways. You can see kids and adults of all ages and statuses riding bikes: businessmen with briefcases, ladies on high heels, pregnant women, elderly people, literally everyone! Amsterdam is famous for its canals, bridges, original architecture, ‘coffee' shops and RedLight District. People here are very happy, laid-back, enjoying life in its fullness.
The Amsterdam Museum will tell you about the unique engineering approach to the city planning and building : with half of the Netherlands sitting one meter (3 feet) above the sea level, and Amsterdam itself built on clay, the foundation of the city is a major feat of engineering. 11million wooden poles support the buildings from sinking. Wooden piles are laid in different places to stop trees from slipping into the naturally marshy ground. Now you understand why so many people prefer living on one of the city’s iconic house boats! The picturesque houses along the canals in Amsterdam are renowned for their slender profiles.
Go for a walk with me and my camera in the iconic Amsterdam with unique canal system, beautiful bridges and monumental buildings!
