Amstel River
Trace the origins of Amsterdam back to the Amstel River, the city's lifeblood. From this canal-turned-river, fishermen built a 'dam,' giving rise to the name 'Amstelredam.'

Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge)
Marvel at the beauty of the Magere Brug, or Skinny Bridge, one of Amsterdam's most iconic bridges. Originally so narrow that pedestrians could barely pass each other, this wooden drawbridge was widened in 1871 to accommodate increasing traffic. Witness the bridge's elegant design and capture breathtaking photos as it opens to allow boats to pass along the Amstel River. The bridge is lit up at night, making it a magical sight.
Amsterdam Canals
Experience the unique charm of Amsterdam's canals, where rare straight vistas offer unexpected surprises.

Built during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, the three main canals—Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht—form concentric belts around the city. Admire the 1550 monumental buildings that line the canals, contributing to Amsterdam's reputation as the 'Venice of the North'. This historic area is a must-see for any visitor.
Rijksmuseum
