What travelers say:
It is convenient to buy tickets online, the cruise time is actually an hour, and there are headphones in different languages, which is far more cost-effective than domestic scenic spots. The scenery on both sides of the canal is very beautiful and the humanistic atmosphere is strong.

Canals of Amsterdam Photos: Trip Moments
Church of Our LadyBeautiful Catholic church built in gothic architectural style. The tranquility in such a busy city, the beauty of the building and the images, the charisma of the churchgoers indeed a very beautiful church and even more inside. I really liked the columns, the vault, the altar and the windows. Good spirituality Constructive contribution to your inner development. This is possible here through the sacraments of communion and confession. There is also regular Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, also known as Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament.Kim-Possible14

Canals of Amsterdam#celebratewithtrip There are more than 160 canals in Amsterdam stretching over 100 kilometers (that’s around 60 miles). I Love Amsterdam! Lovely time walking around the canals. The typical Amsterdam canal houses that are so pretty! Distinctive, worth a city walk, to experience the beauty of the canal.So many great views from so many streets. #amsterdam #holland #friendstripMel2221

sunset boat cruise in Amsterdam canalsThis is a must do if you are in the city, the streets are too crowded with tourists and noisy. You want to getaway from the noise of the city but still appreciate the beauty of its canals and views from the water. It’s a totally different experience compared to walking around. 🛥 It’s not cheap but really worth your time and money. I will do it again if I’m back in Amsterdam. I will go for a champagne and cured meats with cheese. That will be perfect 👍🏻 For those who afraid of seasickness, fred not, this has no current no waves, just smooth magic carpet ride, smoother than limousine on the road. Therfore you can enjoy even a hot tea or coffee ☕️ on the boat. #fallingforfall #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #cheeseforlifeThetravelpotato18

The Canals of Amsterdam NL 🇳🇱Amsterdam is filled with many different touristic attractions including the red light district, museums, parks, and more. The city is known for being mostly bike able and most of the locals prefer to ride a bike or scooter around the city to get most places. One of the biggest attractions and most often seen in movies and television are the Canals of Amsterdam. They are known for being gorgeously blue in the summer and sometimes even frozen solid in the winter. One may often see boats passing by in the canals and they are picturesque for many occasions. If I’m the Netherlands, walk along the canals and embrace the culture as a local. #netherlands #europe #amsterdam #canalsTheDragonHorse18

My favourite place in EuropeGetting There - In the midst of Amsterdam Central Attractions - a system of canal The three main canals in Amsterdam were dug during the 19th century, during the Dutch Golden Age. The canal ring area Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan were listed as UNESCO Heritage site in 2010. A must-do thing is to get on a canal cruise to travel through these canals and explore all the heritage buildings surroi this area. It’s interesting to see some of the slanted buildings and the way the Dutch re-inforced them. Once you are more familiar with navigating around these canals, you can try to explore the neighborhood on foot and of course on bike. #amsterdamwinter16732

Explore the Canals of AmsterdamSimilar to many other cities that sit over water such as Venice, Amsterdam has a vibrant canal system. The pretty waterways are one of the best loved attractions in Amsterdam and you can explore the idyllic routes by taking a boat tour or a water taxi that lets you hop around a range of locations. If you don’t want to take to the water then you can still enjoy the canal sights with a leisurely stroll along the banks. #hoteldeals#summertrip#gourmetsummer#exhibition2021RENDI SUWARNO13

#tripaway During a 50-year project in the 17th century Amsterdam grew to four times its previous size, becoming the 3rd largest city in the world after London and Paris. Central to that plan was the Canal Belt, a network of concentric canals that is now UNESCO listed. Built on reclaimed land, Amsterdam is a feat of ingenuity, and still crackles with the ambition, cultural tolerance and enterprise that drove the 17th-century Golden Age when the Netherlands led the world in trade, maritime power, culture and economic might. This is the city of Rembrandt, Anne Frank, the Red Light District, Johan Cruyff, and the Dutch East and West India Companies; there’s a world of fascinating stories, spellbinding art and architecture that has stood the test of time. #tripawayLimTheHustla14

#tripaway I will always keep Amsterdam in my heart as one of the most charming cities I’ve ever been to! Amsterdam is colloquially known as Venice of the North because of its lovely canals that criss-cross the city, its impressive architecture and more than 1,500 bridges. There is something for every traveller's taste here; whether you prefer culture and history, serious partying, or just the relaxing charm of an old European city. #amsterdam #holland #netherlands #europe #tripawayRafaelSaavedra8

Canals & bicycles. Lots of them. Everywhere in every direction. Sums Amsterdam up in one sentence. I've been 3 times now & with direct Eurostar train from London-now- will likely go again sometime.
Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than 100 kilometers of grachten, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings,The atmosphere is unique. The splendour of the historic canal houses represent Holland´s status as one of the globally leading trade nations in the golden age. Today, the Prinsengracht is considered one of the most expensive addresses in the world. Only a few private people can afford an apartment or even a house here.
The scenery is very good, the weather is a lot, the wind is very strong, but there is no wind on the boat. It is a must-check place to come to Amsterdam. The ticket is 2:30, but people can also go directly at 2 o'clock. It is really convenient.
Amsterdam is most famous and well know for the canels. take a leisurely stroll along the canels!
Amsterdam is a city on the sea, and it feels like Venice.
