Canal Boat Tours: See the city from the water
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • I always think the perspective is very different from the water and if there's a harbour, a river or a canal in a city I like to go on it to see the city from that different angle. Amsterdam and water are so intertwined that I think this hold true here more than in most other cities.

    Boating is also a more relaxed, leisurely way to absorb the sights and sounds.

    So check around and take one of the tours, whichever suits you, and see the city sights from its most obvious natural element.

    Canals, Bridges and Houseboats: An integral part of the city.
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The canals and their houseboats are so much a part of Amsterdam that spending some time around them is a must.

    There are only 2,500 houseboats, the limit has been set at that figure, at permanent moorings and I was told that their average price is around Euro400,000.

    They range from what are apparently converted boats to custom-built houseboats and many have small gardens or window-boxes to add some colour.
