The city grew around the Amstel river and was protected by a dam that prevented flooding from the\u00a0 ZuiderZee (South Sea). Thus the name Amsterdam was given to the city as a combination of Amsel and Dam.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1598\" height=\"899\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?fit=611%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?w=1598&amp;ssl=1 1598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Amstel-river.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/giorgio\/\">Giorgio Baresi<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Amsterdam is the new capital of the Netherlands\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amsterdam only became the official capital of the Netherlands in 1983.

In the 12th and 13th century, residents would dig ditches and remove water to pump windmills. This resulted in the ground getting progressively lower to the point where half of the Netherlands now remains 2 meters below sea level. Without the dikes and dunes that are enforced every year, the Netherlands would be submerged underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1919\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?fit=611%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?w=1919&amp;ssl=1 1919w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/River.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Amsterdam has over 100 canals\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 165 canals across Amsterdam, which separate the city into 90 different islands. The majority of them were built in the 17th century, during the Dutch Golden Age. They now have a combined length of 100km. Amsterdam is notorious for its canals, so much so that the historic Canal Belt, or \u2018Grachtengordel\u2019 in Dutch, is one of UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage Sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"909\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canals-.jpg?resize=909%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canals-.jpg?w=909&amp;ssl=1 909w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canals-.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canals-.jpg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Canals-.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">There are over 2,000 houseboats in Amsterdam\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amsterdam&#8217;s canals are home to 2,500 houseboats, many of which have been afloat for centuries. Houseboats are either wooden or concrete, with the concrete ones being most desirable. If you own a wooden houseboat you are legally required to take it to a shipyard every three years for repairs and to be painted. The majority of the boats are residential, however, you can find hotel houseboats and even museum houseboats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/houseboat.jpg?resize=910%2C511&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/houseboat.jpg?w=910&amp;ssl=1 910w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/houseboat.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/houseboat.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/houseboat.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Amsterdam is home to Dancing Houses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dancing Houses of Amsterdam are famous. Found on the edge of the Damrak canal these houses get their name from their crooked appearance. Originally built as both houses and offices for wealthy bankers, the soil these houses were built on was so swampy that they had to be built on stilts. This caused the houses to wobble and sink slightly, making them off-balance. The Dancing Houses are a regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/7-instagrammable-spots-in-amsterdam\/\">tourist attraction<\/a> and a highlight of Amsterdam.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/amsterdam-netherlands-street-urban.jpg?resize=910%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/amsterdam-netherlands-street-urban.jpg?w=910&amp;ssl=1 910w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/amsterdam-netherlands-street-urban.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/amsterdam-netherlands-street-urban.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/amsterdam-netherlands-street-urban.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Amsterdam\u2019s tap water is safe to drink\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amsterdam\u2019s tap water is the cleanest in the Netherlands.
