In Amsterdam, the channels(canals) which cross the city are massively occupied by barges. And many of them are not intended to travel but well and truly to remain on-the-spot to welcome quite at the same time the inhabitants and the tourists. Because the house on the water became a real lifestyle in the Netherlands. For the foreigners come discover the capital, rent(praise) a barge is commonplace. They prefer this original housing environment to the classic hotels which we find everywhere during their diverse journeys.
