    Take a picnic or a bottle of wine with you and relax on a canal tour - it's such a great way to see the city and experience the intricate canal system (and of course to get out of the rain!!).

    For feeling the essence of the city you need take a ferry trip down its canals. Bridges cross crossing, nearby cafรฉs, boat houses and water locks, feels like traveling through the pulse of the city.

    This urban extension was the largest and most homogeneous of its time. It was a model of large-scale town planning, and served as a reference throughout the world until the 19th century.
