Characteristic for the architecture of Amsterdam are gabled buildings in all imaginable designs. The canals used to be the main traffic routes of Amsterdam. Special are also the many houseboats, which you can see especially during a round trip. The narrow houses along the canals, which present themselves in different colours, are also just unique.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6292.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6292.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6292-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6292-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6292-800x1067.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the flower market, especially the first of the many flower shops with dried and fresh flowers in full splendour is worth a visit.
