A weekend in Amsterdam gives you time to explore beyond the obvious.

4.8Instant confirmationFree cancellation10 departure points

A weekend in Amsterdam gives you time to explore beyond the obvious. Day one: start with a classic canal cruise for the big picture, then visit the Rijksmuseum or Heineken Experience. Grab pizza on the water for a fun dinner cruise. Day two: take an open boat through the quieter canals of the Jordaan in the morning. In the evening, treat yourself to a cheese and wine cruise as the city lights up. With two days, you can mix sightseeing with food experiences and still have time to wander the Nine Streets or relax at Vondelpark.

Tips

Book your canal cruise for Saturday morning and a dinner cruise for Saturday evening for the ultimate Amsterdam day.

The Evening Cruise is stunning at sunset — check the departure time which adjusts seasonally.

Consider a day trip to Volendam on your second day for a taste of traditional Dutch village life.

The Jordaan neighbourhood is best explored by open boat — you will see hidden courtyards and garden houses from the water.

Pre-book online to lock in your preferred time slots, especially for weekend dinner cruises.
