What to expect

The neighbourhood

It sits in Grachtengordel (Canal Belt). The UNESCO canal belt is the Amsterdam of the postcards — a horseshoe of grand 17th-century canals (Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht) lined with gabled merchant houses. Beautiful on foot, by bike or from the water.

Good to know
