Hop on Hop off Bus + Amsterdam Canal Cruise

Hop on and off our modern sightseeing buses as often as you want and enjoy a 1 hour LOVERS canal cruise through the city’s historic canals. By combining our Amsterdam Sightseeing bus with a 1-hour LOVERS canal cruise, you can discover the Dutch capital from both water and land. To make it more convenient our bus has a stop at Amsterdam Central Station on the opposite side of the station to the departure point of the canal boat.

You choose at what time of the day you want to take the canal cruise, while you have access to the City Sightseeing bus for 24 hours. So you can plan your route through Amsterdam exactly as you want to and visit as many attractions during the day as you like. On board the bus you can listen to an audio guide to learn more about the city, and you'll have access to free WiFi so you can share your experience with friends and family and track your location in the city in our app.

During the hour-long cruise, you’ll discover the beautiful canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North'. The Amsterdam canal cruise is truly one of Amsterdam’s highlights, it’s no wonder that the 100km-long canal belt is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marvel at the three most famous canals of the city, the Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht, alongside which wealthy spice merchants constructed grand houses during the Dutch Golden Age.

Amsterdam is filled with incredible sights and extraordinary attractions. Amsterdam is 750 years old and much of this history can be seen when you go sightseeing in Amsterdam, both from the water and on the streets. The boat tour will take you through the city's iconic canals, while the bus will take around the city.

For instance, to the De Gooyer windmill which dates back to 1814, though there was another mill at that location in the 16th-century. Or hop-off the bus at Museum Square, which is steps away from historic museums like the Rijksmuseum. Or step off the bus at the Jordaan, this former working-class neighbourhood is now home to art galleries, speciality shops and restaurants.
