With World Pride in Amsterdam this summer, we expect the city to be packed with gays and much busier than usual in the days before our cruise. It will surely be a spectacle to say the least! This in mind, we recommend securing museum, restaurant, and event arrangements in advance. Below is the link to the official Amsterdam World Pride website where you’ll find a schedule of events taking place.
Amsterdam is perfect for exploration by foot, but also has a good public and private transport system: taxis, Uber, trams and buses are widely available, so buy a day pass to hop on and off.
Tour of Amsterdam with canal trip -Morning
Founded as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age as the result of its innovative developments in trade. Today, the city has one of the largest historic centers in Europe, with about 7,500 registered historic buildings. The street pattern is largely unchanged since the 19th century. The center consists of 90 islands, linked by 400 bridges. On the city tour through the Dutch metropolis, you will see the Royal Palace, numerous canals and the Museum Quarter. As there is no better way to see the city than cruising on the water, the tour will end by a canal cruise boat trip.
Walking Grade 3/5: Moderate amount of walking which will include stairs and uneven surfaces.
Duration approx: 4 hours
