Two women having lunch on the terrace of a traditional houseboat on the canals during a sunny and warm summer day in Amsterdam. A Canal cruise boat passing by makes the scene almost idyllic. Houseboats in Amsterdam are generally not motorized, but moored to a fixed spot in the city. The intricate network of canals in Amsterdam’s city centre also serves as a unique residential area. The colourful houseboats moored along canal banks throughout the city offer all the comforts of a typical house and have become something of a local icon. There are around 2,500 houseboats in Amsterdam.
