The city was first founded as a fishing village in the 12th Century.
There are 2,500 houseboats in Amsterdam.
Paintings from the 17th-20th Century.
There are a set of tilted houses along the canal, the soil was so swampy that they had to be built on stilts, over time they started to collapse therefore making the houses all wonky and slip into the river, these houses are called the 'Dancing Houses' - look out for these on your cruise!
