Tag: Prinsengracht

The thaw has set in, and whatever ice remains on the canals of Amsterdam is now unsafe.

Most likely the ice skates won’t come out of storage again this year.

The yearly Prinsengracht concert traditionally finishes with an ode to Amsterdam, a Dutch song called “Aan de Amsterdamse Grachten.”

Amsterdam was covered under a blanket of snow this morning, and we ventured out to bring you some photos.

OK, we also ate some apple pie at Café Papeneiland — something we highly recommend to anyone who visits Amsterdam.

Starting in the summer of 2012 boats sailing through Amsterdam’s downtown canals may no longer carry amplified music.

It is an effort to curtail noise nuisance. Plus: will there be one-way traffic in Prinsengracht?
