Amsterdam is an amazing place to stay with its lovely canals and winding streets. The Prinsengracht is the outermost of all the main canals in Amsterdam, thus making it the longest. The expansion project that brought about the Prinsengracht was started in 1612! Many of the homes along it were built during the Dutch Golden Age. Much of it has been preserved, and today, these buildings offer a glimpse into Dutch life many many years ago. Many well known buildings are located along the Prinsengracht, including the Anne Frank house, the Westkerk, and the Noordermarkt. The bridges crossing over it lead to streets of the Jordaan, a popular areas for restaurants, bars, and cafes. It is a great area as it offers a central location and easy access to major sights. So, if you are looking for a place in Amsterdam, check out these Airbnb vacation rentals located in the Prinsengracht.
