Amstel

The Amstel is Amsterdam’s main river, a wide, slow-moving waterway that shaped the city. It offers peaceful riverside paths, views of historic 17th-century buildings and steady boat traffic. The area around bridges and museums gives a clear sense of the city’s layout without the crowds found at major squares.
