See Amsterdam on the UNESCO listed Canals of Amsterdam

This basilica features an impressive facade with twin towers and a central dome, while its interior boasts beautiful stained-glass windows, intricate artwork, and a majestic organ. The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and Amsterdam, reflecting the city’s maritime heritage. Visitors often appreciate its serene atmosphere and rich historical significance, making it a key landmark in the heart of Amsterdam.

Designed to resemble a traditional Chinese pagoda, Sea Palace provides a distinctive dining atmosphere. The interior is adorned with authentic Chinese decor, creating an immersive cultural experience. With seating for up to 600 guests across three floors, the restaurant accommodates both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.

In 1606, the tower was enhanced with a decorative spire designed by architect Hendrick de Keyser, giving it its current iconic appearance. The spire includes a clock and carillon, which was added to make the tower more visually appealing after it lost its defensive purpose.

This canal is lined with traditional Dutch canal houses, houseboats, and a mix of residential and commercial buildings, reflecting the city’s blend of historical and modern living. Its tranquil waters and scenic surroundings make it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

The Amstel is the iconic river from which Amsterdam derives its name. Flowing through the heart of the city, the Amstel is central to Amsterdam’s identity, offering scenic views and a connection to the city’s rich history and culture.

The Blauwbrug (Blue Bridge) is one of Amsterdam’s most iconic bridges, located over the Amstel River and connecting the Rembrandtplein area to the Waterlooplein area. It is named after the original wooden bridge that stood in the same spot in the 17th century, which was painted blue.

The H’ART Museum is a prominent art museum situated along the Amstel River in Amsterdam. Established in 2009 as a satellite of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, it rebranded to H’ART Museum in September 2023 after severing ties with its Russian counterpart in 2022

The Dancing Houses (Dutch: Dansende Huisjes) is a nickname given to a row of historic, leaning canal houses located along the Damrak canal in Amsterdam. Ask our guide why these houses lean

The Oude Kerk (Old Church) is Amsterdam’s oldest building and parish church, located in the heart of the city’s historic De Wallen (Red Light District). It was consecrated in 1306 and has since served as a significant religious, cultural, and architectural landmark.

The Red Light District (De Wallen) in Amsterdam is one of the city’s most famous and controversial neighborhoods. Located in the heart of the city near the Oude Kerk (Old Church)

Zeedijk is one of Amsterdam’s oldest and liveliest streets, located near the Nieuwmarkt in the city center. Once part of the city’s defensive sea dike, it has transformed over the centuries into a vibrant area known for its cultural diversity, historic landmarks, and bustling atmosphere.

Best Thing We Did in Amsterdam

We had a canal cruise during our recent trip to Amsterdam, and it was honestly the highlight of our trip. Our group was quite large, with over 10 people, but our skipper Mike handled everything brilliantly. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The way he introduced the city was both humorous and informative, which really impressed us. He made the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Operator response

We'd love to welcome you back for more adventures in Amsterdam soon! Cheers, The Amsterdam Eco Boats crew.
