Amsterdam Canal Cruise: this is a signature activity of the city and certainly shows visitors the beauty of the surroundings. There are open-top canal boats and self-pedalled canal ‘bikes’, which are some of the best ways to see the city’s sights.
Along the banks you’ll pass 17th-century mansions, houseboats, historic churches and monuments. Sunset cruises and cruises at night are especially popular.
Amsterdamse Bos: is a huge and peaceful park that’s a favourite with locals and visitors featuring many specimen trees and numerous opportunities for sporting activities.
Holland Manege: is a Dutch riding school that has been painstakingly restored. It is based on the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
Holland Casino: is a place to try out your luck at one of the largest and flashiest casinos on the continent. There’s a large selection of gaming machines and tables and a rather classy restaurant.
