Waterways, shaded by leafy green, reflect five centuries of architectural
glory…. To this very day a walk through the narrow streets of Amsterdam
gives the walker glimpses between buildings that have inspired generations of
artists.
MANY POSSIBILITIES
There is a better way of discovering
the magnificent narrow streets, namely a cruise along the canals. You can enjoy
such a cruise throughout the year. The possibilities range from standard canal
cruises lasting one hour through to cruises of four hours including dinner.
In the evening you can experience special candlelight cruises. You then cruise
through the lighted center of Amsterdam. Or how about a relaxed barbecue on
the water together with friends and family? Canal cruises are also ideal for
a company party with a difference. Anything is possible on Amsterdam's canals
SPECIAL
CRUISE BOATS
Various boat companies in Amsterdam offer special cruise
cruises. For example the Artis Express which takes you from Central Station
via the VOC ship and the Tropics Museum to Artis (zoo). Do you want to visit
more places of interest? Then board the museum boat. This boat visits all the
famous museums in Amsterdam. From the Anne Frank House to the Rijksmuseum. Yet
the museum boat can also drop you off at the Kalverstraat or the Magna Plaza.
Have you ever seen a bus on water? The Canal Bus provides a regular service
between important museums, shopping districts and attractions. However, you
can also cycle on the water using a Canal Bike. With these Canal Bikes you can
venture out on your own and discover Amsterdam whilst keeping fit.
