Obviously I kind of developped a taste for evening views as of late :) This postcard is no exception.
Amsterdam is an absolutely amazing city! It started out in the 12th century as a tiny fishind village and over the centuries developped into the leading centre for finance and diamonds and one of the most important ports in Europe during the Dutch golden age in 17th century. It is the capital of the Netherlands, the government seat though is in The Hague.
The city has more than 100 kilometers of canals (grachten), 90 islands and 1.500 bridges, which gave Amsterdam the nickname "Venice of the North". The 17th century canal ring with Prinsengracht, Keisersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan are listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
