Anne Frank House - The Anne Frank House (Dutch: Anne Frank Huis) is a museum and former residence dedicated to Anne Frank, the Jewish diarist from World War II. Situated on the Prinsengracht canal near the Westerkerk in central Amsterdam, Netherlands, it commemorates her life and legacy.

During the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank, her family, and four others hid in concealed rooms at the back of this 17th-century canal house, known as the Secret Annex (Dutch: Achterhuis). Although Anne did not survive the war, her diary was published in 1947. In 1957, the Anne Frank Foundation was established to preserve the property from demolition.

Westerkerk - The Westerkerk is a Reformed church within Dutch Protestant Calvinism, located in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is situated in the western part of the Grachtengordel neighborhood, adjacent to the Jordaan, between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals.

Houseboat Museum - The Houseboat Museum offers a unique opportunity to experience life on an Amsterdam canal houseboat. Housed in the “Hendrika Maria,” a former cargo ship built in 1914, the museum features a cozy living space with modern conveniences and ample comfort.

Leidsegracht - Leidsegracht is a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is a cross-canal in the city center, connecting Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Lijnbaansgracht, and flows into the Singelgracht at Marnixstraat.

Beulingsloot - De Beulingsloot is one of the oldest and shortest canals in central Amsterdam, located within the Grachtengordel.

Huis Bartolotti - The Bartolotti House is a canal house at Herengracht 170-172 in Amsterdam. Built around 1617 for Willem van den Heuvel tot Beichlingen, one of the wealthiest residents of Amsterdam at the time, it was funded by an inheritance from his uncle by marriage, Giovanni Battista Bartolotti, a merchant from Bologna.

Melkmeisjesbrug - The Melkmeisjesbrug is a fixed bridge in Amsterdam-Center.

A bridge has existed at this location for centuries, as indicated on maps by Balthasar Florisz. van Berckenrode (1625), Joan Blaeu (1649), and Daniël Stalpaert (1662). The modern history of the bridge began in 1883 when a pedestrian drawbridge was replaced by a permanent bridge due to the decline in shipping traffic. However, the passage was too narrow, leading to the construction of a new bridge with iron sickle girders in 1903. The current steel bridge, built in 1966, retains these characteristics.

The bridge is named after the milk market that once took place here. Later, a catering establishment with a milkmaid sign was built nearby. It is also believed to be the site of the first “Amsterdammertje” (a type of bollard).

The Amstel - The Amstel is a river in North Holland, Netherlands, flowing from the Aarkanaal and Drecht in Nieuwveen northwards through Uithoorn, Amstelveen, and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, before reaching the IJ in Amsterdam. The river hosts events such as the Liberation Day concert, Head of the River Amstel rowing match, and the Amsterdam Gay Pride boat parade.

The Amstel was formed around 1050 BC when a freshwater river cut into a tidal channel of the IJ, now known as Damrak and Rokin.

Hermitage Amsterdam - Hermitage Amsterdam is a branch of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, located on the Amstel riverbank in Amsterdam. The museum is housed in the former Amstelhof, a classical-style building from 1681. Initially, small exhibitions were held in the adjacent Neerlandia Building from 24 February 2004 until the main museum opened on 19 June 2009.

As the largest satellite of the Hermitage Museum, it spans 12,846 m2, aligning with the museum’s goal to make its collections more accessible. The exhibition area covers 2,172 m2, featuring two large halls and smaller rooms. The remaining space includes lecture halls, offices, staff accommodations, and a restaurant.

Stopera Pier - The Stopera is a complex in Amsterdam, Netherlands, housing both the city hall and the Dutch National Opera and Ballet. Designed by Wilhelm Holzbauer and Cees Dam, it serves as the main opera house in Amsterdam, home to the Dutch National Opera, Dutch National Ballet, and Holland Symfonia.

The name “Stopera” originates from the protest slogan “Stop the Opera,” not from a combination of “stadhuis” (city hall) and “opera” as commonly believed. Due to its association with protests, the theater does not use this name in its communications.

Centraal Station - Amsterdam Centraal was designed by Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. While Cuypers was the principal architect, it is believed that he focused mainly on the station’s decoration, leaving the structural design to railway engineers.

IJdok - The IJ is a body of water, formerly a bay, in North Holland, Netherlands, known as Amsterdam’s waterfront.
