Sorted by distance from the start of de wallen: dawn on the oldest canals. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The only Amsterdam skyline you get from the water, a street-art warehouse, and Anne Frank four storeys tall.

A white wedge of a film museum, the IJ promenade, and the whole Amsterdam skyline lit up from the far bank.

A 15th-century weighhouse, a leaning defence tower, and the first Amsterdam School building in the city.

Amsterdam's prettiest canal, a courtyard from the New York story, and a street of independent food shops.
