Canal Cruise
We highly recommend you to take a boat cruise through the canals. These tours have normally a duration of 1hs (the simplest one) and you will have a quick overview of the major and most important canals of Amsterdam.
Departures are from: Prins Hendrikkade opposite Centraal Station; quayside Damrak; Rokin near Spui; Stadhouderskade 25 near Leidseplein.
The companies:
*The Canal Bus. Runs three fixed routes, stopping near major attractions (Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank's House, etc.). You can get on or off as often as you like. €20 per person per 24 hours. The first boats start between 9.15 a.m. and 10.45 a.m. depending on which stop you get on. The last boats start dropping off at around 7 p.m.
*Lovers Canal Cruise. Start opposite the Rijksmuseum. It is €12 per person, but you cannot get on and off. The cruise is about one-and-a-half hours.
*Amsterdam Jewel Cruises. It offers an evening dinner cruise. It is the only classic boat offering a private table for a romantic dinner cruise. A la carte dining. The cruise starts at 7.30 pm and lasts just under three hours.
