Hello, Amsterdam.
As I wandered through your streets, I anticipated a mild affection for your character. Yet, what unfolded was an unexpected depth of sentiment. In each corner, a subtle understanding; in every view, a braided narrative between what was outside and how it reflected inside me. And with great joy, I slipped into a long-forgotten but familiar sensation of exploration and mirroring of self into the world.

Let's go for "baroque." You won't believe what's behind the door of this 1683 canal house in Amsterdam. 3bds, 4ba, € 3.95M / $4.248M. Thanks to ingek73 for finding this gem- it really is a jewel.
Open the door to this incredible marble and gold entrance hall.
Sitting room #1 has a wonderful mural on the ceiling.
And, it opens right into sitting room #2. Note the fireplace wall and spiral columns. Look at the ceiling- they hung a huge framed painting up there, that fits perfectly into the coffered ceiling.
This deck has a skylight in it. Either that, or they more likely built a deck around the skylight. So unique.
The view from below in this gorgeous 2nd kitchen.
Luxurious primary bedroom.
The galley kitchen is modern, but I like these cabinets.
Stairs to the upper floor just outside the kitchen.
Another elegant sitting room. I like the dark ceiling and light beams. It's different. Murals decorate the ceiling, also.
Spiral stairs. The home consists of 5 floors.
Upper landing with a library/game room.
Isn't this bath amazing?
One of the beautiful bedrooms. I like the small canopy over the single bed.
One thing about expensive homes, you're never at loss for sitting rooms.
These rooms on the next floor are beautiful. Looks like there's a kitchenette, too.
Modern bath up here.
A ladder above this space leads to a catwalk that makes the most of every level of the house.
Isn't this cool? Feel like a ship's captain in this room at the top of the house. There's even a widow's walk on this house.
Below is a cozy chair next to a fireplace.
There's also a private workroom up here.
Down to the lower level that used to be a dental office.
It's been converted to a beautifully spacious apt.
What a great house.

Amsterdam - Canal Cruise
Amsterdam is known for lots of things. From the Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer in Rijksmuseum, to neighbourhoods like Jordaan, The Nine Streets & Red Light District.
But most known are the Amsterdam Canals. An Unesco World Heritage site. A canal cruise is a must do when you travel to Amsterdam. This video tour is a travel guide along the famous canals of Amsterdam: from the starting point of the cruise near Wester Kerk (prinsengracht, west side) all the way around.
This canal cruise took about an hour to complete. You can just drift along the boat houses and old Amsterdam architecture. Seeing Wester Kerk, Keizersgracht, the river Amstel with the Skinny Bridge, then around the NEMO Science museum and the VOC Ship (replica of a ship that sailed the world during the Dutch Golden Age).
Amsterdam is located in the province (“state”) of North-Holland. Other places nearby that are worth checking out when you stay a couple of days are: Giethoorn (lots of tourist make the day trip to this Venice Of The North), Zaanse Schans in Zaandam (a collection of Dutch Windmills), Marken (a small fishermen’s village just outside of Amsterdam) and Edam / Voldendam.
If you happen to visit in the spring time: then seeing the Tulips in Keukenhof is a wonderful thing to see.

Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than 100 kilometers of grachten (canals), about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010,contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North".
