Netherlands Brouwersgracht x Prinsengracht
This is one of the best spots in Amsterdam to get the city's typical architecture, a little bridge and the canals in one frame for a nice composition.
Photography Tips
You should carry a tripod, ND filters, and a polarizer to avoid reflections.
Wait until blue hour and/or when the streetlights are turned on for stunning photographs. If you are lucky enough, there is a boat passing by while you are taking a long exposure shot, so you get some nice light trails. On the contrary, you can shoot the canal and passing boats directly by standing in the middle of the bridge, for a difference in the composition.
