The canals play an important role in maritime traffic but are also a great source of income thanks to the tourists that flock to the city each year. The canals were built during the 17th century and are now one of the reasons Amsterdam is famous throughout the world. The Canals were placed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2011 for their historical importance.

Snert
