KLOVENIERBURGWAL, SINT ANTONIESTRAAT
Old Town part 3
The Old Town, Binnenstad, is the heart of Amsterdam. The borders to Binnenstad is the Singelgracht canal in the south, east and west and the lake IJ and the harbour Ooosterdok in the north. It is where the old canal buildings are, as well as all famous squares and the central station. This is part 3, focusing on an area around Binnenamstel and Klovenierburgwal.

Klovenierburgwal is a canal that is flowing at Amstel River, between Muntplein and Waterlooplein and ends near the central station. The Doelen Hoteland the "dancing houses" are in the area.
