At the end of Groenburgwal, be sure to get the shot of the Zuiderkerk's steeple. Turn left onto Raamgracht, yet another quiet canal hiding in this super-central area. Turn right onto Kloveniersburgwal, then almost immediately turn onto Zandstraat. You'll now see the towering Zuiderkerk ("Southern Church") in front of you. Pay just € 6 to climb the tower for some striking views of Amsterdam's Southern Centrum. Pictured above is the view from Groenburgwal to the church, and the view from the church tower down Groenburgwal.
