5. Canals of Amsterdam

Number of WHS Visitors: 939

The Canals of Amsterdam are the central feature of Amsterdam – the capital city of the Netherlands. The city is one of the few in the world built below sea level. Amsterdam’s structures stand on stilts that have been dug deep into the stands to provide buildings with the correct foundations to bear the weight of buildings. Amsterdam’s canals are famous and cover more than a hundred kilometers. They are flanked by more than a thousand historical buildings, and the canals themselves have stood for hundreds of years.
