Amsterdam's main street is called Damrak, where the beautiful old merchant houses line the sides of the streets, but in a city dominated by waterways, most tourists want to find the famous canals, or as they are locally known, the Grachtengordel.
The Museumplein is the area where most of Amsterdam's world famous museums and art collections are housed. Amsterdam's inner city architecture is mainly Renaissance in style and heritage, but there are still plenty of wonderful Baroque buildings on display which date back to the 17th century and the Netherland's Golden Age.
