Overview

The canal belt is the picture, and this self-guided photography walk puts you in it at your own pace. From Dam Square you cross the Torensluis and follow the Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Bloemgracht through the quietest part of the centre, with the route and the shooting tips on your own phone. Gabled facades, bridges stacked one behind the other, houseboats and reflections - the same subjects the professionals come for, without a group to keep up with. Stop as long as you like at any spot, backtrack when the light changes and break off for coffee whenever you want. The walk takes about 2 hours 30 minutes and works with a phone camera as well as a system camera. It suits a first visit to Amsterdam just as well as a photographer who already knows the city and wants a route rather than a guide.
