For this cruise, you’ll hop on a boat that will take you around Amsterdam’s canal neighborhoods. You’ll get to see iconic buildings lining the city canals, illuminated bridges and some of the best city views on this tour.

You’ll come across the Anne Frank House, which is a biographical museum and also pass by the Renaissance-style structure of Westerkerk and several older churches such as Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk.

Then you’ll reach Grachtengordel, which is a popular neighborhood in Amsterdam located in the Centrum district. You’ll learn all about the canal district and its four main canals; the Singel, the Herengracht, the Keizersgracht, and the Prinsengracht. You’ll see that the buildings lining these canals display many architectural styles and facades from several years of reconstruction and restoration.
