Amsterdam boat cruise on grachten (canals), Netherlands

#Amsterdam, still capital of the #Netherlands, has more than one hundred kilometers of #grachten (#canals), about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, #Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the #Dutch #GoldenAge, form concentric belts around the city, known as the #Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 #monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and #Jordaan, were listed as an #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "#Venice of the North". A proper place to enjoy in a @bootuitjes #vaporetto and a glass of @CLMartinette #rosé! Construction of the north-western sector was started in 1613 and was finished around 1625. After 1664, building in the southern sector was started, although slowly because of an economic depression. The eastern part of the concentric canal plan, covering the area between the #AmstelRiver and the #IJBay, was not implemented for a long time. In the following centuries, the land went mostly for park, the #BotanicalGarden, old age homes, theaters and other public facilities – and for waterways without much plan. Several parts of the city and of the urban area are #polder, recognizable by their postfix -meer meaning 'lake', such as Aalsmeer, Bijlmermeer, Haarlemmermeer, and Watergraafsmeer. The canals in Amsterdam are now used as a main form of transportation around the city.
