Canal Houses
The city of Amsterdam is built upon a network of semi-circular canals. Tall, brick houses lining the canals were once owned by wealthy merchants, but now serve as space for modern day businesses. You may find yourself admiring an old building, only to realize it's a McDonald's. I recommend taking a scenic walk along Prinsengracht canal to admire the houseboats and unique house gables.
