Amsterdam Part 1

2009.08.29
Amsterdam: the center of the city is formed around wide canals with busy car, pedestrian and bike traffic along the roads.

Walking through the red light district at the start of the tour.

Houses in Amsterdam used to be taxed by their width, and here is an example of a creative solution: note the red house in the center.

A warehouse of the Dutch East India company, the world's first corporation.

The Anne Frank house. The outside is not much to see (just a modernized exterior to her father Otto Frank's store), but inside the top two stories were converted into a hiding space behind a moving bookcase. (Photos are not allowed inside).

The first morning: on a free walking tour of the city.
