The beauty of Amsterdam looks best from a boat trip. You can choose a 'regular' cruise, but there are more and more special tours with dinner, music or in a historic boat.

Tours through the canals of Amsterdam
The most visited tourist attraction in the Netherlands is the cruise through the canal belt of Amsterdam. Sightseeing in Amsterdam is a relaxing experience in this way. Tours are the ultimate way to get to know the city. You have an incredible view of the city from the unique perspective as if you experience Amsterdam from below, traveling through the canal belt with its beautiful bridges and historic canal houses, canals such as the Brouwersgracht, the Herengracht, the Keizersgracht and the Prinsengracht. Due to the ubiquitous character of the canal belt you get the chance to see the most beautiful attractions you want to visit later. In August 2010, the 17th century Amsterdam canal belt was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Canal District of Amsterdam
The canals of Amsterdam is an attraction in itself. These unique canals are the best to experience with a boat trip, which is actually one of the best attractions in the Netherlands. The most beautiful historical buildings of the 'Golden Age' pass by all their stories. You should not forget the bridges either. The four Amsterdam main mounds are Brouwersgracht, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht.
