Visit Amsterdam from the water on a canal boat tour and see the city from a different angle. If you’re in a hurry, there’s no better way to get a good overview of the city in about an hour and from the comfort of a boat. These guided tours pass by the most interesting landmarks and leave frequently from popular tourist destinations like Anne Frank’s house, Leidseplein and the Heineken Brewery. These sleek boats smoothly cruise along the old canals, winding their way through the Old Town . Some boats offer a romantic night time candle-lit dinners, which cruise under illuminated bridges with the lights of the city reflected off the dark waters of the canal, though this is not for penny pinchers!
