Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Climb aboard a canal boat to experience Amsterdam at its most beautiful - when the sun goes down and the city lights are switched on.
Amsterdam is best viewed from the water and during this 90-minute canal cruise, you'll understand why. It offers you the best views of the historic city center that is illuminated by thousands of twinkling lights.
Discover the city's top highlights, iconic bridges and the 17th-century buildings lining the canals. You'll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a historical city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change.
While you're enjoying the views that pass you by, you'll listen to an audio guide (available in 20 languages) that tells you everything you need to know about Amsterdam; the stories, legends and historical facts. You can buy drinks and snacks in the ticket office before your boarding!

5.00The canal experience was great. It does not loop around so whatever side you’re sitting on is what you can take photos of. Here’s a photo hack, place your phone directly on the cleanest part of the window and you won’t have glare.
Views were even good in the rain!

5.00It was a stormy night, the boat was fairly empty, but the driver was very entertaining and actually the pictures we took ended up very artistic due to the raindrop effects. All in all a lovely evening.
Easy and laid back evening cruise

5.00Get there early to get seats together. If you order wine and cheese for 3, you get one bottle of wine, a container of cubes of cheese and a cup of nuts. Driver was great for additional information. We went at 6:30 and it was beautiful!
