Plan your Amsterdam experience

Canals give Amsterdam its shape, but the city is best explored at more than one pace. Combine a boat trip with a museum visit or a walk through a neighbourhood rather than trying to cover everything from the water.

For canal trips, compare departure points, duration and whether commentary or refreshments are included. For museums, check the entry time and whether special exhibitions need a separate booking.

Choose a departure point that fits your route. Pay attention to cycle lanes while walking and check step-free access with the venue if needed.
