Amsterdam - Southern Canal Ring (PDF Chapter) by Lonely Planet
The Southern Canal Ring spans the area from the radial Leidsegracht in the west to the Am-stel in the east. Packed with museums, restaurants, cafes, shops and miles of gorgeous canals, the district deserves at least a day to explore.
- goggle at blockbuster exhibitions drawn from the treasures at the original St Petersburg museum, at Hermitage Amsterdam
- amble along the Golden Bend, a stretch of canal-side property that practically purrs with Golden Age elegance, and imagine which house you would choose if you could
- enjoy romantic ahhs on Reguliersgracht, the so-called ‘canal of seven bridges’, and see how many of them you can spot at once
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping.
