Amsterdam is often called the 'Venice of the North' for its more than 100 kilometres of canals and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the canal belt or 'grachtengordel' in Dutch. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings which offer a great view from your hotelroom at Hotel The Veteran!
