"Who needs Venice when you've got Amsterdam!" Canals / Houseboats Tip by seamandrew

Canals / Houseboats, Amsterdam: 57 reviews and 63 photos

  Prinsengracht from one of many foot bridges

Favorite thing: Take advantage of the beautiful canals. The houses along the canals are beautiful and I find the houseboats so interesting. Most of the residents of these floating homes had to do so because of a lack of living space in Amsterdam. The canals offer a great place to absorb Amsterdam's beauty while getting some great excersice.

Fondest memory: The fondest memory I have of Amsterdam is when Elisabeth and I sat at our hotel room window for a while and watched the small boats navigate their way ever so calmly through the Prinsengracht.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
