Description

1 hour Amsterdam evening boat tour

Amsterdam is extraordinary after dark. The gorgeous merchant houses twinkle in the darkness, the lights glitter on the waters of the world-famous canals, and the city comes alive with nocturnal activity. Savour the beauty of the ‘Venice of the North’ on an Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise.

An Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise will take you through the most impressive of Amsterdam's waterways, including the 17th-century Canal Belt, where the evening silence will surprise you. Each cruise is unique as the captain chooses the route based on the traffic on the water and the size of the boat.

This canal tour starts at the very heart of the city, right near Central Station. As you travel through Amsterdam's neighbourhoods, such as the Jordaan, the Nine Streets or the Pijp, you might see sights like the Amstel river which gave the city its name, the Anne Frank House, the Westerkerk and the iconic Skinny bridge.
