Amsterdam Canals

#GlobalTravel Who can resist the beauty of Amsterdam? Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities. It has more than 100 kilometers of canals, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The city is known as the "Venice of the North". Much of the canal system is the result of successful urban planning. At the height of immigration in the early 17th century, a comprehensive plan was put into place to dig four major concentric semi-circular canals simultaneously.
