CITY CANAL CRUISE (opposite Hard Rock Cafe)

Discover Amsterdam!

Amsterdam is best viewed from the water. On this 75-minute canal cruise you’ll experience the best of our historical city. It offers you the best views of the 17th-century buildings lining the city canals, and will also show you the 21st-century city that Amsterdam has become. You’ll  come across new architecture and bridges, showing a city that is rooted in history but continues to develop  and change.

You’ll see the city the way it really is – from the Golden Bend to Overhoeks, the city’s newest quarter, and from the Music Building in the harbor to the impressive (replica of a ) VOC ship outside of the Maritime museum.

All departures offer a Personal Audio System. This offers audio commentary in a choice of 19 languages (free earphones are supplied). There is also a special audio story for the kids! This is the ideal way to enjoy the Dutch capital for first-time visitors.

Please note: we request our visitors to book their ticket online in advance to avoid crowds at the cash registers.
