A Guide to Dutch Canal Cities

The Netherlands is defined by water. Canals thread through nearly every town.

Amsterdam

Rent a bike and ride along the Prinsengracht, duck into a brown cafe.

Utrecht

Unique two-level canals with wharf cellars turned into restaurants.

Leiden

A university town with 28 kilometers of canals. Rembrandt was born here.

Delft

Famous for its blue pottery, but the real attraction is the old town itself.

Giethoorn

No roads, only canals. You get around by boat, by bike, or on foot.


The Netherlands rewards slow travel. Stay in a waterside cabin and let the canals set the pace.
