Obviously canals is there theme of the city. They link all over and then out to sea. With a good map and directions, you can manuveur to your destination, but be aware of which way north is. Every canal has some special sight that will make you stop and take in the way people live and work. Most are free flowing enough to keep the water looking rather clean. YOu can take boat rides and go under hundreds of bridges, which are neater to look at from down under.

Its a great way to see Amsterdam and saves walking! The canals look more beautiful when you are on a cruise. The bridges as well. We saw many interesting and unique houseboats.
The cruise also takes you out to the North sea, for a look at the harbor. Leave a Comment Phone: +31 (0)20 679 1370Directions: Blue Boat Company Stadhouderskade 30 1071 ZD Amsterdam Near the Rijksmuseum.

a very good, fun and original way to Amsterdam is to take a canal cruise. You see Amsterdam from another point of view and passing quite a few interesting sights. The tourguide on the boat usually has a lot of interesting background information and full of jokes. It cost about 7-12 Euros for 1-1.5 hr, depending on the route. The majority of the boats are docked just when you get out of the central station. Leave a Comment

I don't often do really touristy things when i travel but there are some things that are just worth the time, effort and money and taking a canal boat tour around Amsterdam is one of them. There are a lot of ways to do it, a lot of companies and even a water bus that you can take with a day pass which stops near all the main sights. We arrived in Amsterdam on a Sunday, late in the afternoon and decided, as it was sunny, that a cruise would be a good introduction. The hotel checked that they were still departing and we hurried the 10 minute walk to the docks for a 6 p.m. cruise.
The company we used is one of the major ones in Amsterdam, Holland International and we took their standard 100 Highlights cruise that lasts about an hour. The cost is 12.5 euro per adult and the boats are glass topped with windows that open. The seating is at tables that will sit four or possibly 6 small people or children (2-3 per side). Try to get there early to get a window seat. We had to share a table and weren't up at the window. Luckily the other couple did open the window so photos out the window at least, weren't full of reflections.
The cruise was in English and Dutch, and it started at the dock by Centraal Station. Then headed up by the more industrial parts of the waterfront, sailing by Nemo and the Old Amsterdam tall ship for a close look up. The boat then headed in through the canal system into the older part of the city. It traversed the larger canals and some smaller ones and along part of the Amstel river. It was a very pleasant journey. This company also does dinner and lunch cruises and party cruises.
If you book the tickets online you can get a bit of a discount, print the tickets at home and take them with you. Leave a Comment

One off the best ways to see Amsterdam is by a boat trip.
They took us through Lott's off different canals and telling us story's information and showing us some landmarks and important buildings.
The trip lasted just over 1 hour it would take you days to see all the interesting places that you see on the boat. Leave a Comment Address: Stadhouderskate 30 1071 ZD AmsterdamDirections: Next to the casino and Arran barWebsite: www.blueboat.nl

 A canalboat tour by Rita_
No trip to Amsterdam would be complete without it!
There are several companies offering the boats which mostly fit about 40 persons and provide a guided tour in many foreign languages. Leave a Comment
