Talk a Walk Down Amsterdam's Smaller Canals in Crisp Fall Weather

Tuesday September 2, 2008
Fall is already breezing into Amsterdam, right on schedule. The crisper air it's bringing to the city makes wandering the watery maze even more enjoyable; but as you do, don't miss Amsterdam's most charming small canals, which have a much different feel than the bigger ones. Some of my favorite spots in the city exist along these narrow channels that cross their bigger counterparts, offering a quieter, quainter atmosphere. Enjoy!

I visited Amsterdam this summer and loved it. The canals are beautiful. I know this is probably a very tourist thing to do, but I rented a canal bike and went on the rivers. it was such a great time.
