Over 3 million people take a canal cruise in Amsterdam every year, making it the #1 tourist attraction in Amsterdam! We took two canal cruises on our trip there. On this cruise, you will learn about many Amsterdam Fun Facts. Even though it was warmer inside, I spent much of my time outside with an unobstructed view. We left from the Anne Frank House and cruised through several canals, and the Amstel River, seeing many of Amsterdam's landmark canal houses, canal boats, houseboats, churches, and bridges along the way. Taking a canal cruise is the best way to see Amsterdam-enjoy the ride!
