26 Spots

Amsterdam by the Water

The most beautiful canal, bridge and old-town photo locations in Amsterdam, mapped in one walkable loop. 26 spots in the order you'd actually walk them, from quiet dawn light in the old centre to golden and blue hour on the Brouwersgracht. Each pin tells you when to go, where to stand, and how to get the shot: the light, the angle, the crowds to dodge. It's about 9 km on foot and fits comfortably in one day. Bring a camera and good shoes.
