Oudegracht

Oudegracht runs through the city center and has a long history. Bars, cafes, and restaurants are located along the canal. Take a walk here to experience the passage of time and the tranquility of the city, or go boating on the water to enjoy the scenery on both banks. This medieval canal, which dates back to the 12th century, was once an important hub for trade in Northern Europe. Its unique double-level wharf structure remains intact to this day; the lower-level warehouses have mostly been converted into specialty shops, while the upper-level walkways connect a complex of Gothic architecture with over 700 years of history. In summer, the canal hosts water concerts, and the 17th-century Jilong Mountain-shaped gabled buildings along the banks reflect on the water, forming a moving picture scroll with the passing canoes. At dusk, the candlelight on the wharf terraces lights up one by one, and tour boats slowly pass under the cast-iron bridge arches. This living heritage waterway is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage tentative site, blending historical depth with a modern atmosphere.
