The Canals of Amsterdam form a network of over 70 km, linking more than 100 islands with over 160 canals and 1,200 bridges. Its main attractions are concentrated within a 1.5 km radius along the canal belt. Amsterdam residents live on the water, with waterways weaving through the city, creating a harmonious blend of people and nature that forms a picturesque landscape. The Gentlemen's Canal is the first of the three main canals in Amsterdam's city center. Its fashionable section, known as the Golden Bend, features many double-width mansions, inner gardens, and carriage houses. The Emperor's Canal is the second and widest of the three main canals in Amsterdam's city center, located between the Gentleman's Canal and the Prince's Canal. It was named after Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. The Prinsengracht is the third main canal in Amsterdam and also one of the longer ones. Most buildings along the canal were constructed during the Dutch "Golden Age." Scenic spots along the canal include the North Church, Noordermarkt, Anne Frank House, and other attractions.
