The Van Gogh museum is an awesome experience, the paintings are all mesmerizing. The boat ride on the canal was also amazing. Two things you absolutely must do if you go to Amsterdam.

Really easy to access and we had the option of sitting in or outside on the boat. You get a good amount of time on the bot, you don’t feel rushed at all. Make sure to wrap up if you’re planning on...

We went on the 6.30pm cruise. Great to see Amsterdam as it started to get dark with all the lights. Really beautiful. We did it on our first day and it helped with orientation.
