The best way to see Amsterdam if you are here for a short visit is to see the city via it's ancient waterways and appreciate the architecture of the place .

These are the so called "dancing houses" . The foundation of amsterdam is slowly eroding and unstable , which causes the houses in amsterdam to be slight unstable, leaning from side to side .

In Amsterdam , wealth is also judged by the width of the houses . Therefore , people tend to build their houses upwards .
