The guild houses on the Graslei, including the Free Boatmen's Guild House and the Spijker grain store, look almost exactly as they do in this 1890s photo. Only the quay itself is busier now, with terraces and bicycles.

Stand like this

Stand on the Korenlei quay, right at the water's edge across from the Free Boatmen's Guild House, and aim your camera east across the water.
