Itinerary
1. The reason the houses in Amsterdam are tilted is because of the soil. The city is built on marshlands, which means that everything heavy sinks right into the soil. Therefore, we started to build upon wooden poles to reach a deeper and more sturdy layer of soil that could support the heavy houses.
2. The Southern Church is another beautiful church designed by Hendrick de Keyser. It was built in between 1603 - 1611.
3. Today this area is known as the “Stopera”, a combination of STadhuis (Cityhall in Dutch) and Opera. Together they form the Stopera!
4. After the Thorbecke bridge you will see the famous 7 Bridges! If you are lucky, and there are no other boats, you can see 7 identical stone bridges in a row.
5. Admire the stunning mansions along the Golden Bend of the Herengracht, a place renowned for its historical grandeur and lavish architecture.
6. Explore the beauty of Amsterdam from the water as you cruise along the picturesque Amstel River, which has been a lifeline of the city for centuries.
