In the heart of the city you can kayak or stroll down a maze of waterways that stretch over 100 miles. And all along the canal you will find amazing markets, like the weekly Turkish Market, where you can shop for a range of food and textiles from around the world.

You might choose Gemäldegalerie to explore an impressive range of medieval and Renaissance paintings.
