What to expect
A well-known landmark — worth a stop on a walk through the area; check whether the interior is open to visit.
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
Opening hours and ticket prices change — check the official website before visiting; many sights are free to see from outside.
