Promenade in Amsterdam
Prinsengracht Canal Walk
The Prinsengracht is the outermost of Amsterdam’s main canals, lined with houseboats, leaning merchant houses, and the Westerkerk tower. Free to walk. The Anne Frank House is on this canal. The stretch from the Brouwersgracht intersection (often called the most beautiful canal junction in Amsterdam) south to the Reguliersgracht is the most photogenic walk in the city. Budget travelers walk the Prinsengracht from end to end and see the Amsterdam that made the Dutch Golden Age rich.
