Canal Tour

If Paris has the Eiffel Tower as its main attraction and Barcelona has its Sagrada Familia, when visiting Amsterdam, it is a must for every tourist to experience the canal tour. While it may seem like a plain and simple attraction, for anyone who wants to learn and appreciate the history, culture and way of life of locals, a tour of the famous canals will provide you with a front seat view.

The canal tours offer different itineraries you can choose from, which will allow you to view some of the major attractions of the city from the boat. Among the noteworthy ones include the Anne Frank House, Westertoren, the Magere Brug, the Oosterdok, just to mention a few. Of course, you will also be able to see up close the beautiful canal houses of the locals, where the number of steps indicates the status of the resident.

De Magere Brug

Right across the Amstel River, which is easily accessible from any major and well-situated Amsterdam city hotel, you will find the De Magere Brug, hailed as the most famous bridge in the city. If you are into photography, you might want to capture this majestic architectural piece, which was built way back 1934 to connect the riverbanks of Kerkstraat. The bridge is most famous for its grandeur, which is truly a sight to behold. It is best enjoyed at night when over 1, 800 lights are lit up, casting a magical glow on the waters below. If you happen to book an Amsterdam city hotel nearby, then you may even be able to enjoy the view from your window.

Brouwerij 't IJ

This particular attraction is quite extraordinary and probably the only one of its kind - being a combination of a brewery and windmill. Brouwerij 't IJ, which is situated in front of Molen de Gooyer is truly unique. This small brewery company was established back in 1983 and today, it continues to take pride in manufacturing 100% organic beer using time-tested ancient practices.

Sharing the property is the windmill Molen de Gooyer, which is also an attraction in itself. In fact, it is regarded as the highest wooden windmill in the country. With its size and the amount of tourists visiting these two sites on a daily basis, you will not find it difficult to locate this particular attraction! Make sure to stop by and enjoy a drink or two while enjoying the fresh air. The tasting bar is open daily from 2-8 p.m.
