Canal Cruise
Canal cruises through Amsterdam's UNESCO-listed canal ring offer the most enchanting way to explore the city, gliding beneath 1,200 historic bridges past gabled merchant houses, houseboats, and waterside cafés. The network of 165 canals was built in the 17th century during Amsterdam's Golden Age as a testament to Dutch engineering and mercantile power. Evening cruises are particularly magical as the canal houses are reflected in the still water.
