Things to do.

Cruise

Amsterdam is famous for it’s canals, and they offer a unique opportunity to see the city from a different angle. Floating through 16^th & 17^th century town house, warehouses and tree lined avenues, glass topped boats offer tours from docks around Centraal station. More energetic visitors can hire pedalos, and the more romantic can opt for a candlelit cruise at night <more>

Get on your Bike

Clean, green and healthy! Flat terrain, bicycle lanes, and the compact size of the city make cycling the choice of real Amsterdammers. Just watch out for tram lanes and remember to lock it to something solid!! <more>

Visit a Museum -

Amsterdam has more museums and art treasures per square metre than any other city on earth. With museums for fine art, photography, anthropology, handbags, sex, science, torture and film - to name but a few - the variety and choice is huge. And not always what you would expect from a museum. <More>
