What you'll see & do

  • We sail through the oldest part of Amsterdam. More than just red lights, this area is filled with narrow alleyways, leaning houses, and centuries of fascinating stories. It’s the city's most talked-about neighborhood – and we’ll show you why.
  • Dating back to 1306, this is Amsterdam’s oldest building. Standing tall in the heart of the Red Light District, the church is a surprising island of silence and beauty amid the city's busiest area.
  • The River Amstel with the iconic Skinny Bridge
  • This futuristic, ship-shaped building rises out of the water and sparks curiosity in every visitor. And yes – the rooftop truly offers one of the best views of the city skyline.
  • A district rich in cultural heritage and emotional depth. Here, historic synagogues, museums, and monuments tell powerful stories of resilience, remembrance, and community.
  • A hidden green paradise in the heart of Amsterdam. With plants that date back to the 17th century and rare species from around the world, it’s a serene view from the canal.
  • The most prestigious part of the Herengracht, lined with grand 17th-century mansions. These were once home to the wealthiest merchants of the Dutch Golden Age – and they still impress today.
  • A magical view awaits: seven perfectly aligned arch bridges, creating one of Amsterdam’s most iconic and romantic sights. Don’t forget your camera!
  • A charming white wooden drawbridge that lights up beautifully at night. According to legend, a kiss under this bridge guarantees everlasting love.
  • These famously crooked canal houses seem to lean and sway like dancers. Built on wooden poles over the swampy ground, they’re a symbol of Amsterdam’s quirky charm.
  • As we glide by the remnants of the old city wall, you’ll see hidden towers and canals that once protected Amsterdam. A glimpse into the city’s medieval past.
