Discover Amsterdam in the evening

Amsterdam is famous for its canals, which is why a canal cruise is the best way to explore the city. Nowhere can you see the stately canal houses, the monuments, the people as well as from the water. And Amsterdam is even more beautiful at night, when the lights on the old arched bridges and the famous Skinny Bridge are lit. The city reflects beautifully in the dark water. The monuments are also beautifully lit. You get a whole new, fairy-tale view of the Unesco World Heritage city centre.

Charming!

"Charming, relaxing way to see the city by night. Guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Since it was a cold night, the plastic windows were in place, which sometimes made the view less than perfect, but kept the boat comfortable. On the other hand, it also made the views somewhat more "impressionistic" and romantic. The bar is one free beer or wine... it's not a drinking cruise. We enjoyed it; a perfect way to end a day of on-your-feet sightseeing."
