Amsterdam Highlights & Canal Cruise

Enjoy a relaxing chance to discover Amsterdam and its beautiful canals. The canal boat is the perfect way of getting around in Amsterdam with its wealth of waterways. The central ring of canals was realized in a relatively brief time span. Therefore, Amsterdam may well be called a planned city, characterized by neatly confined districts and straight canals. To this very day, the large-scale 17th century expansion projects determine the characteristic shape of the historical Amsterdam city center. What will capture your attention during your canal cruise is the particular architecture of Amsterdam's houses. After your relaxing canal cruise, your guide will lead you back to the coach for a short transfer across the water to the Amsterdam Lookout Tower. The Amsterdam Lookout Tower is the best way to fully explore the city of Amsterdam, thanks to the panoramic views it offers. The spectacular elevator takes you to the 360° sky deck in only 22 seconds! If you’re more into climbing, you can take an additional 60 steps to reach the highest lookout point of the tower. From the sky-deck you will be able to see all parts of Amsterdam, including the historical center, the dynamic ports and the unique landscape. Thanks to the permanent interactive exhibition, you can also learn a bit more about the history and culture of Amsterdam. After exploring Amsterdam's skyline, your coach will take you back to the ship in Ijmuiden.
