♦ Canal Boat Cruises
There’s nothing more romantic about Amsterdam than a canal boat cruise! Plus, it’s a great way to take in the city’s history, landmarks, and scenery. A typical canal cruise takes about an hour and will transport you throughout Amsterdam’s famous canal ring. Some tour companies even provide you with the option to “jump-on/jump-off” so you can really get a hands-on adventure. There are many different kinds of canal cruises that you can take, so it’s best to do some research before arriving in Amsterdam to make sure you get the type of experience you desire.
♦ Rijksmuseum
This is one of the most famous museums in Europe, and a must-visit during any trip to Amsterdam. The main highlights of this gallery feature Dutch art and history. It is also located in close proximity to other museums (for instance, the Van Gogh and Stedelijk Museum), making it easy to visit all museums in one day. When visiting, you’ll be able to view over 8,000 artifacts, including some of the most famous paintings in the world, like Rembrandt’s “Night Watch.”
♦ The Red-Light District
The Red-Light District (or De Wallen) is one of the most famous neighborhoods in Amsterdam, best known for its risqué entertainment. Many travelers visit this neighborhood to learn about its fascinating history. A tour of the neighborhood (which is the safest way to explore) will get you a “behind-the-scenes” look at some of the clubs, and a stop at the museum where you can learn even more through an audio tour.
