1 hour

Mobile ticket

Step aboard a glass-topped sightseeing boat with this 1-hour Amsterdam canal cruise, and see the city sights by water. Then, cruise along the city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals to see the "skinny bridge" of Magere Brug, the affluent Golden Bend district, the Anne Frank House and more, as you learn about Amsterdam’s history from an audio guide. Boats depart at frequent intervals from morning till mid-evening.

Each boat tour follows a different route, so not all sights are guaranteed to be seen every time. This way, every cruise offers a unique and surprising experience.

    My tickets were booked for 10/13/25 at 6:30pm. We were at the meeting point listed on our tickets at 6:20pm and no one ever showed up. When I tried to call the number, no one was available in the evening. I was not contacted that the canal cruise was cancelled. This was our last night in Amsterdam! Very unhappy! I will contact for a refund.
