What you'll see
The city's main canal, running below street level, with brick wharves at the water's edge and old cellars under the street now turned into cafés and terraces you can eat on beside the boats.
A brief history
Merchants unloaded goods straight from boats into the cellars under their houses; the two-level wharves are unusual anywhere in the world.
