Amsterdam, Netherlands

There are many many reasons to visit Amsterdam, but a city that's often called "Venice of the North" and "City of Canals", some of the best views are indeed around these water bodies. Whether you take a boat ride or just walk leisurely along these waterways, you cannot miss the beauty of Amsterdam Canal Houses. These are easily some of the most gorgeous buildings anywhere in the world. Take some time to marvel at the soaring gables and long, sleek windows or just wonder at their skinny profile and architectural quirkiness.

  5. Do you know, it is quite funny...I have travelled to Amsterdam over ten years ago but I can't remember ever seeing those cute houses that look just like what I have seen in Copenhagen not too long ago. It's clearly time to travel back and see the place again! I love your photographs - especially the one with the violinist standing by the window. Or the old guy on the bycicle. It's something I loved seeing in Denmark...everybody rides their bikes. It's such a normal thing to do.

  6. Beautiful photos, I've always loved Amsterdam, and wish more people realized it was so much more than the general tourist stereotype of being for "coffee shops". The architectural quirkiness is my favorite - I could walk around the streets and admire the buildings for days on end! Amazing range of museums here too :)

  7. I have never been to Amsterdam before (only in the airport, but that doesn't count). I would like to go and your pictures are really nice.
