The
Keizersgracht
("Emperor's Canal" in
Dutch
), the widest of the three major
canals of Amsterdam
, at dusk. Located in the city centre, it is named after
Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor
. The more than one hundred kilometers of
canals
in
Amsterdam
, about 90
islands
and 1,500
bridges
have led the city to being termed the "
Venice
of the North".
