BrouwersgrachtBrouwersgracht, the brewers' canal, made Amsterdam rich with beer money 400 years ago. The fancy houses you see? Built by beer makers who got wealthy here. Now artists and locals live in old warehouses. You'll spot houseboats covered in flowers where people actually live year-round
-
HerengrachtHerengracht has been Amsterdam's fanciest street since 1612, when rich guys built massive houses here. These belonged to mayors and traders who got wealthy from spice trading. These aren't museums - they're still the most expensive homes in Europe. The canal stretches 2.4 kilometers through the heart of the city.
-
Blauwburgwal is tiny at just 100 meters long but packed with big history. The name means "blue fortress wall" from when it protected the city. In 1940, bombs hit this street and killed 44 people. Now it's quiet and narrow. Most tourists miss it completely.
-
SingelSingel is Amsterdam's original moat that kept enemies out until the city got too big for its boots. Spot the world's narrowest house at number 7
-
HaarlemmersluisHaarlemmersluis is the 17th-century lock where herring used to get packed and shipped. Now canal boats pass through daily where fish traders once made their fortunes.
-
IJThe IJ is Amsterdam's huge water that used to connect to the North Sea. This is where the city's sea adventures began and ships from everywhere still dock. You'll see old Amsterdam on one side and modern buildings on the other - showing how this city keeps growing.
-
Amsterdam NorthAmsterdam Noord is where young creatives live across the water. Artists took over old factories here after industry moved out. The NDSM Wharf used to build ships but now it's full of art studios and startups. Old meets new everywhere you look.
-
HouthavensHouthavens loaded timber for centuries. Now young professionals live in glass towers while old harbor cranes watch like metal giraffes.
-
PrinseneilandPrinseneiland is the smallest Western Island where artists made their home. After WWII, creative people moved into empty warehouses here. It used to store wine, tobacco, and salt for the Dutch West India Company. Now those same buildings house charming canal homes.
-
Realeneiland, named after the rich Reael family, is where Amsterdam built its ships. Shipbuilders, fish packers, and tar companies made this island buzz with work. Thirteen sea captains' houses still stand from when ocean money was made right here.
-
Lijnbaansgracht, the rope canal, got its name from rope makers who needed long spaces to make ship rigging. Built in 1612, parts got filled in during the 1800s to create squares and streets you still see today connecting neighborhoods.
-
BloemgrachtBloemgracht, the flower canal, ranks as one of Amsterdam's most beautiful waterways. Trees and 1600s buildings create perfect light that everyone tries to capture. Locals bike past while visitors stop for photos. The name flower canal makes total sense when you see it.
-
Cafe PapeneilandCafé Papeneiland has been operating since 1642 on this famous corner. This brown café serves the apple pie that made Bill Clinton order a whole one to take away. The wooden inside and old tiles tell stories of Dutch history with pure Amsterdam vibes.
-
PrinsengrachtPrinsengracht - 3.2 kilometers of Amsterdam's longest canal. Anne Frank hid here. Rembrandt's buried at Westerkerk. Houseboats where creatives live.
-
EgelantiersgrachtEgelantiersgracht gets its name from the wild rose and was built for skilled workers and craftsmen. The houses are smaller than the fancy main canals because real working people lived here instead of rich merchants. That's exactly why they're so popular with locals now.
-
Leliegracht, the lily canal, offers one of Amsterdam's most peaceful waterways lined with beautiful 1600s buildings. Small boats float by while locals drink coffee at cute cafés along the banks. It's a hidden gem that most visitors never find.
-
The JordaanThe Jordaan neighborhood used to be Amsterdam's poor area but now it's the most wanted place to live. Built for craftsmen and working people who made their own music and culture. Since the 1970s, artists and young professionals discovered this maze of small streets and cozy cafés.
-
Emperor's Canal (Keizersgracht)Keizersgracht, the emperor's canal, stands as Amsterdam's widest famous canal. Built during the Golden Age, it shows off preserved merchant houses that now hold cozy cafés, shops, and galleries. The trees explode with color every spring.
-
BrouwersgrachtThe corner where Keizersgracht meets Brouwersgracht creates the Instagram spot photographers hunt for. Two canals meet and make four lit tunnel views at night. When bridge lights come on, this becomes pure Amsterdam magic and the perfect end to your water journey.
-
AmsterdamWe'll snap a classic Polaroid of your group with Amsterdam's canal houses behind you. Stick it on your fridge and remember the day you saw Amsterdam like locals do - from the water, at the right pace, with good people.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
