People always ask us: “Can you show us your favorite spots?” This is where we share the places, stories, and little secrets that make Amsterdam feel like home. Step aboard our historic boat with a cosy lounge deck, your floating living room on the canals. Take off your shoes, grab a cold drink, and relax. Cruise through peaceful canals, hidden courtyards, and authentic corners that many visitors (and even some locals) never discover. Your local skipper grew up in Amsterdam and shares fascinating stories about the city’s history, architecture, traditions, and everyday life. There is no fixed script, just genuine stories that come naturally. Meet people from around the world, enjoy good vibes and a relaxed atmosphere. No need to impress—you’re already invited in. Come as you are, and leave with authentic memories and a Polaroid keepsake.

Itinerario

  1. Brouwersgracht, 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

  2. Herengracht 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Singel 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

  5. Haarlemmersluis 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.

  6. The 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.

  7. Amsterdam 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.

  8. Houthavens loaded timber for centuries. Now young professionals live in glass towers while old harbor cranes watch like metal giraffes.

  9. Prinseneiland 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

    Pasa por delante

  12. Bloemgracht, 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.

About Ámsterdam

Ámsterdam rodea su centro de la edad de oro con canales arbolados, casas con frontones y puentes, con gran arte y fácil de recorrer en bici.

El cinturón de canales, excavado en el siglo XVII, se curva alrededor del casco antiguo en arcos concéntricos: Herengracht, Keizersgracht y Prinsengracht, bordeados de altas casas de mercaderes. El Jordaan, justo al oeste, es un laberinto de pequeños canales, patios, cafés marrones y tiendas independientes, y la Casa de Ana Frank se levanta en el Prinsengracht, en su borde.

Top-ranked sights in Ámsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
