Description:
Their prominent presence on the urban landscape means that Amsterdam's canals are hard to ignore – and why would you want to? They add unique beauty to the city and are ideal for transportation too. Canal tours, of which there are many, wend through the city and show off museums, homes, attractions and other unusual features. Embarking areas are clustered around tourist attractions, and prices vary, so shop around before settling on a company. Tours usually last an hour or so. Special dinner cruises, romantic excursions, and museum jaunts can be arranged, and canal bikes allow you to explore the waters on your own.
