Amsterdam's home to over 100 kilometres of UNESCO-protected canals, 1,500 bridges and 90 islands, most of which you'll find clustered around the capital's culture-packed centre. And with over 900 years of history under its belt, there's no shortage of stand-out sights for you to see. On this laidback canal cruise, you'll be able to add a few of them to your photo album. You'll kick things off with a 15-minute walk to the boat, led by your guide. Then, you'll set off for a trip around the canals. The route you'll take can change day by day, but some of the landmarks you might be able to tick off your list include Anne Frank's House – where she and her family hid from the Nazis during World War Two – and the 400-year-old Westerkerk Church. Plus, you'll get a good look at Amsterdam's smorgasbord of architectural styles, which include everything from 17th-century, red-brick merchant mansions to modern glass-fronted towers.
