The intersection of Nieuwe Herengracht and Entrepotdok is located in Amsterdam’s Plantage district, a neighborhood with a strong historical and cultural character. 🏛️

Nieuwe Herengracht, part of the city’s famous canal system, extends from the Herengracht and runs between the Amstel River and the Scharrebiersluis near Entrepotdok. Built in 1️⃣6️⃣5️⃣8️⃣, it marks the eastern edge of the canal belt. ⛵

At this junction, several bridges help connect different parts of the neighborhood. The “Walter Süskind Bridge” (no. 237) links Nieuwe Herengracht to the Weesperzijde, serving as a key crossing for both pedestrians and cyclists. Nearby, the “M.S. Vaz Dias Bridge” (no. 238) and the “Hortus Bridge” (no. 239) also play an important role in keeping the area well connected. 🌁

🇫🇷 Une manière originale pour se déplacer à Liège est d'utiliser la navette fluviale qui parcourt la Meuse de Coronmeuse à Fragnée (près de la gare des Guillemins). Cinq arrêts permettent d'atteindre les différents quartiers de la cité ardente.

La navette circule une bonne partie de l'année selon des jours et des heures qui sont à trouver sur le site officiel : navettefluviale.be

Passez un bon samedi! Pour ma part, je suis curieux de voir si je pourrai voir l'éclipse, le ciel est couvert pour l'instant! 👋

🇬🇧 A original way to discover Liège is to use the "river bus" from Coronmeuse to Fragnée (near Liège-Guillemins Station). With 5 stops, you can reach all the emblematic districts of the ardent city.

The river bus operates most of the year but days of operation can vary. All the information is available on the official website : navettefluviale.be

Have a great Saturday! I'm curious if I'll be able to see the partial eclipse of the sun at midday, the sky is cloudy right now! 👋
