    Tips

    April 8, 2023

    Established in 1612, the Herengracht is one of three major canals in central Amsterdam. With its beautiful Golden Bend stretch, stately mansions and interior gardens, it has long been one of the trendiest spots in the city. To this day, many of the most chic places to live in the Dutch capital are located along this canal.

        The Herengracht is the second canal in the row of Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht. Together these form the so-called canal belt. The Herengracht was created from 1612.

          A relatively wide canal with a lot of traffic. And as always here, typical houseboats.

            The Herengracht was built during the 17th century. Many of Amsterdam's most powerful and wealthiest residents built magnificent city palaces along the canal.

              Definitely watch from the water.

                Amsterdam is always worth a trip - if you avoid the tourists

                  Those of rank and name lived on the Herengracht in the Golden Age.
                  Today, the fine addresses are even less affordable than they were then.
                  Banks and law firms have moved into the former apartments, but also enchanting museums that invite you to look around and marvel.

                    One of countless beautiful canals.

                      The Herengracht is considered the city's most important canal. In the 17th century, the city's wealthiest merchants and most influential rulers and mayors lived here. Even today, an address on the Herengracht is considered prestigious and elegant.
