Amsterdam: Evening City Lights Canal Cruise with Drinks (opens in a new tab)

452 1 h

See Amsterdam the way it looks once the city slows down. Glide past lit bridges and gold-lit canal houses with a drink in hand, while your skipper points out the corners you'd never find on foot. Full description Amsterdam is a different city after dark. The day crowds thin out, the bridges switch on, and the canals turn into long lines of gold on the water. Step aboard for a relaxed evening cruise through the historic centre, drink in hand. You'll glide under lit bridges, past seventeenth-century canal houses with their windows glowing, and along the quiet stretches of the canal ring and the Jordaan that most visitors only ever see in daylight. Your guide keeps it conversational — the stories behind the houses, what the city is actually like to live in, and where to head once you're back on dry land. The light does the rest. Reflections on the water, lanterns along the quays, and the most photogenic hour of the day without the daytime crowds in every frame.

This is the first and only museum to relate the history of the persecution of the Jews of the entire Netherlands.
