Everybody would tell you the same thing here, "You can look over the water from our living room windows. " This is definately a common statement in Am*dam. (Don't be fooled by any real estate agent, new comers.)
The canals indeed make the city lovely. Strolling through Am*dam is quite pleasant in any time of the year, even in this unusually cold winter (the coldese in the past 20 years). You can choose to walk across bridges from one canal to another, or simply choose one canal and leisurely walk along it. There would be hard to find a up-right building here; houses are leaning against each other and packed tightly one to another, just like the way they park bicycles.
According to Meg, Amsterdam city office has made an official (maybe proudly) announcement that, "Weekly, there is one car falling into canal, on average." Be careful on parking. Water is everywhere.
