Historical things to do in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has 800 years of history, and the canals are where it all happened. The VR Amsterdam History Cruise is the most immersive way to experience it: wear a VR headset and see the city as it was during the Golden Age, the construction of the canal ring, and the great fires — all while cruising the very same waterways. The standard Amsterdam Canal Cruise passes the Anne Frank House, the VOC shipyard, medieval churches, and hundreds of 17th-century canal houses. Combine your cruise with the Rijksmuseum for Dutch Masters and Golden Age art. The VR History Cruise + Rijksmuseum combo gives you 500 years of history from two perspectives: the water and the museum.
