Amstel, River and canal system in Amsterdam and North Holland, Netherlands
The Amstel river flows through Amsterdam, branching into numerous canals that form an intricate network of waterways measuring over 100 kilometers in length.
The Amstel river and its canal system were developed in the 17th century to facilitate trade, transportation, and city expansion during the Dutch Golden Age.
The canals of Amsterdam received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2010, recognizing their role in shaping the city's development and maritime commerce.
Visitors can explore the Amstel and its canals through boat tours, walking paths, or cycling routes that connect major districts of Amsterdam.
The Museum of the Canals at Herengracht presents exhibits about the engineering and development of Amsterdam's water management system.
