Description

Amsterdam is a different city after dark. The day crowds thin out, the bridges switch on, and the canals turn into long lines of gold on the silent waterways.

Step aboard for a relaxed evening cruise through the historic centre, drink in hand. You'll glide under lit bridges, past seventeenth-century canal houses with their windows glowing, and along the quiet stretches of the canal ring and the Jordaan that most visitors only ever see in daylight.

Your guide keeps it conversational — the stories behind the houses, what the city is actually like to live in, and where to head once you're back on dry land. Ask them anything; that's rather the point of a small boat.

The light does the rest. Reflections on the water, lanterns along the quays, and the most photogenic hour of the day without the daytime crowds in every frame.

Settle in, pour a drink, and watch Amsterdam light up around you on one of the highest rated things to do in Amsterdam.

Good to know before you go
