ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo
ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo was the first zoo to be established in the Netherlands, and it’s located right in the centre of Amsterdam. It’s a place where nature and cultural heritage come together; a place where history has been created since 1838 and where new stories are created daily. Come experience them for yourself.
Bloemenmarkt
he Amsterdam Flower Market is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. This unique market exists since 1862. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats and evoke the old days when the market was daily supplied by boat.

Great nighttime tour - Amsterdam has themed artistic light displays along the canals - tour guides on the boat were awesome describing the displays and possible interpretations. We had previously done a daytime cabal cruise , glad we decided to do this one as well.

Long wait in line, cold and windy along with rain, and definitely not a luxury boat as the plastic windows were rolled up for the entire ride. The guides were nice and warm mulled wine was mostly for keeping our hands warm, The snacks were pretzels and crackers in a small plastic container.
