See the best of Amsterdam from its historic canals, as you relax on board a 100-year-old traditional Dutch boat
The Canal Ring, or Grachtengordel, is the historic heart of Amsterdam and one of the most iconic urban landscapes in the world. Built during the 17th century Dutch Golden Age, this UNESCO World Heritage site features a perfectly preserved network of canals, bridges, and merchant houses. The semicircular ring of waterways was designed to expand the growing city while showcasing wealth, innovation, and elegance. Today, the Canal Ring remains a stunning example of urban planning and is best admired from the water. A canal cruise through the Grachtengordel offers an unforgettable view of the charming architecture, flower-decked houseboats, and iconic sights like the Skinny Bridge and the Westerkerk. Whether you're exploring by day or under the glow of city lights, the Grachtengordel is the perfect backdrop for romantic moments, family outings, or a peaceful escape from the bustling streets.
