Amsterdam Canal Ring
Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than one hundred kilometers of grachten (canals), about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.[1] The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010,[2] contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North"

We went on the 8.30pm cruise after a long hot summers day and it was so relaxing. Just what was needed. Plenty of drinks ans snacks on board and the guide, Jay, was really informative.

Anna was our Captain - great historical description- she told our group the historical truth - no cleaning up the unpleasant details of yesteryear! She answered questions and educated us on the history of Amsterdam! Friendly, knowledgeable and energetic.
