Romantic Canal Cruises

Unlike most cities, the most popular way to sightsee Amsterdam isn't with a bus tour, but with one of the many Amsterdam canal tours. The canals play a major role in how locals and tourists move about since there are few motor vehicles in this refreshing city. Plus, when city sightseeing, Amsterdam canals give the most fascinating views. Open air canal boats or a free ferry ride let you feel the wind in your hair as you watch the city’s landmarks and quaint waterfront stores pass you by on your Amsterdam tour.

To spice up your Amsterdam tour, take that special someone on a romantic Amsterdam canal cruise. Savor your favorite cheeses and a glass of wine as the enchantingly lit canals mesmerize you both. If romance is not your style then hop on a burger, pizza or light festival cruise instead!

Scenic Bike Tours

Amsterdam locals routinely cycle to get to work, the stores or out to meet friends for the evening. Visitors also find that cycling in Amsterdam is a wonderful way to get out into the fresh clean air to mingle with and feel like one of the city’s natives. With numerous lively bicycle tours Amsterdam is teaming with opportunities to cycle through this magical city.

On a bike tour you can:

Ride through the hustle and bustle of the city to 15th century De Waag, to the infamous Red Light District, and over to see the Royal Palace in Dam Square.

Venture out into Amsterdam’s quiet and scenic countryside, where picturesque villages lead the way to Broek in Waterland – an enchanting old town with many centuries-old buildings.

Explore the Dutch Hills and Waterways

Amsterdam tours are never complete without taking a day trip to see the famous Dutch windmills. With its characteristic green wooden houses, the windmill village de Zaanse Schans is a popular tourist attraction. Although only five windmills are left in the town, your friendly local guide is sure to relate stories of a time when this once industrial area had approximately 700 windmills.

Or, choose from many different day trips from Amsterdam to visit local Dutch cities like Rotterdam and The Hague or hop over the border to Belgium to see Antwerp and Brussels. No matter what, you'll get to explore the scenic and lovely Dutch countryside.

Vacation in Europe
