Blauwburgwal

Canal in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

The Blauwburgwal (literally: Dutch: blue fortress wall) is a canal in Amsterdam between the Singel (at Lijnbaanssteeg) and the Herengracht (at Herenstraat). It is close to the city center and part of the west Grachtengordel (canal belt). Halfway along the northeast side, the Langestraat meets the Blauwburgwal.
