The Best Way to See Amsterdam!
Cruising along the canals of Amsterdam is one of the must-do activities on any trip to the Dutch capital. These waterways extend over 60 miles (100 km) throughout the city centre, offering the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the essence of the Netherlands.
During your boat tour, you'll navigate the historic Keizersgracht, also known as the Emperor's Canal, a waterway dating back to 1612. This 1.2-mile (2.8 km) long canal boasts a wealth of prominent tourist attractions, including the renowned House with the Heads, known as "Huis met de Hoofden" in Dutch. Its façade showcases the likenesses of Roman gods Apollo, Minerva, Ceres, Mercury, Bacchus, and Diana.
Next up, you'll visit the Prinsengracht area, where you'll be captivated by the picturesque charm of this quaint neighbourhood. Iconic landmarks await your discovery, including the Anne Frank House and the Houseboat Museum. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to admire the Duif Church and the Palace of Justice.
