Amsterdam: Self-Guided Canals Photography Tour

Explore Amsterdam's canal belt with a digital app, starting at Dam Square.

From Dam Square, the route drops straight into the canal belt. You'll walk through the centuries-old Herengracht, Leidsegracht and Prinsengracht, past merchant houses and moored houseboats, then wind through the 9 Streets, where small shops and everyday Amsterdam provide endless inspiration.

Walk the route at your own pace; there is no time limit. The route focuses on finding the perfect shots, rather than ticking off all the tourist spots.
