Why Pair It

The Canal Ring from the Water

The canal houses were built to be seen from the water, and a cruise is still the best way to take in the scale of the canal ring the Van Loon house belongs to.

This one-hour cruise is one of the most-booked in Amsterdam, with more than 22,000 reviews. It runs with an audio guide and departs from several points, depending on the option you choose, including near the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum and Central Station.

The honest version

A mass-market cruise rather than an intimate one, and reviews reflect that, but at this price it's excellent value. Choose the departure point closest to where you're staying.
