Amsterdam

Amsterdam - Amstel and Skinny Bridge

The earthTV camera shows Amsterdam with all its charm: Bridges arch over the water, some of them opening for tall water traffic. In winter, the locals dust off their ice skates, children and dogs scramble around and vendors sell hot chocolate, mulled wine and soup. Among the sights of Amsterdam are the house of Anne Frank and the Van Gogh Museum.
