The taped commentary was woefully staid! In the end I pulled out the headphones and sat out on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine and the smells

Our hotel was on Keizersgracht. The canal is centrally located. Right is Anne Frank house and left takes you to Dam Square. The canal appeared to be quiet at night.

Would recommend a canal boat trip- we got the day long hop on hop off pass - great commentary with lots of interesting facts and a unique way of seeing the city

Part of one of our 24 hour Hop On Hop Off canal boat trips -provided with descriptive commentary. This is one of the best ways to explore the city with a frequent and unhurried service.

I love the Canals in the city... Amazing at night and fantastic for photography. they give the city special character and soul !

Centrally located with easy access to hotels, transport and entertainment. Not too noisy although the footpaths are narrow and uneven in some parts.

I honestly think that Amsterdam is better than Venice in the Canal battle. Venice has the charm but Amsterdam to me has more beauty about it.

There are three main canals in Amsterdam - this one is in the middle and is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is gorgeous and interesting. Definitely take a walk down it or rent bikes and tour it.

A beautiful canal, if you get a ticket for the "Hop on hop off" service you can gat around all the main canals. It's a different view from the water.
