Amsterdam’s greatest treasures, however, lie well beyond the touristy areas, from the cobblestoned paths of the Jordaan district to the narrow, tree-shaded canals around Zuiderkerk. Often the only difference between the well-trodden and off-the-beaten-path is a mere 50 feet, so explore Amsterdam with a curious eye. Click here for full story
