With only a limited time in Amsterdam (alas) before our river cruise would depart, walking the 9 Streets neighborhood was a must. We took a taxi to the Anne Frank house and walked the few blocks to a starting point. It was a chilly, rainy November day but we had umbrellas, rain gear and determination!
The neighborhoods are utterly charming, canals throughout, bordered by colorful houses, skinny sidewalks with bikes and cars squeezed in somehow. It so reminded us of Venice! Everything is so photogenic it's easy to burn through your phone's storage here!
Shops and restaurants abound throughout. Would've loved to have more time to check them out but my wife did find some beautiful scarves in one.
Walking the 9 Streets has been described as one of the great walks of Europe. A must see when in Amsterdam!
