Tag: Prinsengracht

If Amsterdam were a country, “Aan de Amsterdamse Grachten” – an ode to the canals of Amsterdam – would certainly be its national anthem.

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.

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?
