The Oude Gracht, one of the central waterways in Alkmaar, only becomes interesting with a canal tour through the canals. Also of interest is driving under the bridges of the canals, which are so low that the occupants of the boats have to get down from their seats to the ground to avoid banging their heads against the bridges

Great city, cool bars, nice canals and great shops in the small streets.
