BOAT RIDE PHOTO SLIDESHOW Amsterdam's canals have been gradually built over the centuries ..in an expanding ring outward from the center at The Dam. Each canal longer, grander, and wider, with more spectacular homes. The 4 main canals, west and south of The Dam, from the center out are: (conveniently in alphabetical order) Single - Heringracht - Keizersgracht - Prinsingracht Canals at one time were the business streets of Amsterdam... loading and unloading cargo from the countless barges .... now the canals are bustling with tour boats... many are the large bubble top Goliath's that fill the canals most of the day and evening. Many are also classic wooden boats that add a air of History to your adventure ... no matter which style you choose don't leave Amsterdam without a boat ride on the canals, any way you can get one.
