Canal Bus is an enjoyable and relaxed way of getting around the canals and takes you past all Amsterdam's top sights. You'll pass many historic buildings, from the imposing Westerkerk to the city's narrowest house.

Canal Bus boats cruise along the most famous canals bringing you to Amsterdam's major museums, such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House. On board we provide a multilingual commentary.

Our comfortable boats offer a frequent and regular service with 4 routes and 20 stops, including 6 transfer points. The stops are located near the museums, shopping districts and tourist attractions. Your 24-hour ticket allows you to hop on and off as often as you like. Tickets are valid on all four lines.

The hop on, hop off canal cruise has been carefully designed to give you the freedom to explore the history and culture of Amsterdam at your leisure.

To complete this visit we have arranged a discount at the popular Van Gogh Museum! A visit to the Van Gogh Museum is a unique experience. The museum contains the largest collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh in the world. It provides the opportunity to keep track of the artist's developments, or compare his paintings to works by other artists from the 19th century in the collection.
