Amsterdam, Netherlands – City of Canals

Fun Fact:

• Amsterdam has more bikes than people—over 1 million.

• Amsterdam has more canals than Venice—over 60 miles worth.

• About 15,000 bikes are pulled from the canals each year.

• The city’s narrow houses were built that way because property taxes used to be based on width.

  
  

Funny Thought:

Renting a bike is fun until a local whizzes past like they’re training for the Olympics.
