Gabled facades, bridges stacked one behind the other, houseboats and reflections - the same subjects the professionals come for, without a group to keep up with.

The walk takes about 2 hours 30 minutes and works with a phone camera as well as a system camera. It suits a first visit to Amsterdam just as well as a photographer who already knows the city and wants a route rather than a guide.
