The Venice of the north \ud83c\udf09<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
People romantically call Amsterdam \u201cThe Venice of the North, with its 165 canals<\/a><\/strong> (or \u201cgrachten\u201d) and 1,281 bridges. We start our trip at the Westerdok<\/a><\/strong>, just north of the main train station, at Canal Motorboats<\/a><\/strong>. We get acquainted with our steady aluminum motorboat in the harbor. Good maneuvering skills will prove valuable in the narrow canals. Remember, smaller boats give way to bigger ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exploring the outer canal belt \ud83d\udea4<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our journey begins with the outer canal belt of Amsterdam, the Prinsengracht<\/a><\/strong>. This belt consists of four canals encircling the inner city core, known for its Red Light District and coffeeshops. The waterways are straight, so it’s impossible to get lost. Along the way, we admire lovely houseboats on either side. There are about 2,500 houseboats in Amsterdam, ranging from dilapidated pirate ships to designer pieces.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue along the Prinsengracht, which crosses the Negen Straatjes<\/a><\/strong>, an area with nine streets full of hip second-hand shops, nice caf\u00e9s, and the colorful lifestyle of Amsterdam. We park our boat and disembark at the Elandsgracht in one of the more stylish neighborhoods. Here, we treat ourselves to ice cream at Yscuypje<\/a><\/strong>, which offers nearly forty different flavors\u2014so go ahead and make it a big one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The narrow and leaning houses of Amsterdam \ud83c\udfe1<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As we sail on, the narrow and leaning houses amaze us. These houses are long and slim because, in earlier times, taxes were based on the width of the houses, yet people needed a lot of storage space. Their leaning postures are due to the moist and sandy ground. It takes us about an hour of sailing before we cross the Amstel River<\/a><\/strong> in the southern part of the city and turn back. If you have time and love antiques, plan a stop at the Waterlooplein flea market<\/a><\/strong> on a Monday or Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n
\nTall, narrow houses lining the picturesque canals in Amsterdam<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n A glimpse of Herengracht\u2019s grandeur \ud83c\udff0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The return journey takes us along the Herengracht, a parallel canal to the Prinsengracht. This street is historically home to the city\u2019s wealthy bankers and boasts some of the most magnificent and expensive canal houses in Amsterdam. The grandeur is astonishing, with chandeliers as far as the eye can see. For more opulence, take a detour to the Singel canal<\/a><\/strong>, passing the floating flower market at the Koningsplein, and see Die goldene Biegung (\u201cThe Golden Bend\u201d). This area is known for its stunning houses and brings us back to our starting point.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MEININGER Tip: Boatside Pizza \ud83c\udf55<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Feeling hungry? The Pizzeria San Marco<\/a><\/strong> in the southern part of the city delivers pizza directly to your boat through a window in the cellar. Delicious! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
