Canal Cruise, the best way to explore amsterdam 🇳🇱🚤

#timetotravel Amsterdam is a city known for its long waterways (if you look at the world map, the aerial view of Amsterdam is like that of a spider web). Therefore, the best way to explore the Amsterdam Canal is via a Canal Cruise!! When I visited Amsterdam back in July, I booked the Canal Booze Cruise with a local operator called “We Are Amsterdam & Starboard Boats”, as the name suggests, the cruise provides free flow alcoholic drinks which is superb. As I was solo travelling, at first, I thought it might be weird to get onto the cruise by myself. However, the operator, the guide and other passengers have proven me wrong. The guide did a very good job at explaining the history of Amsterdam and what I can conclude after the Canal Cruise is that the Dutch were poor designers and architects. It is because they used to build houses with wood and a fire had burned all of the houses, and the same accident happened twice in history. I was also told that the “Dancing Houses” on Damrak Canal was formed because the Dutch built the houses on stilts which caused it to wobble, tilt and sink into the river. As I was sitting next to a group of Vietnamese girls from the States, we began having conversations and I made friends with them! The cruise lasted around 45 minutes, and I wouldn’t mind for it to be longer!! #境外遊 #amsterdam #canal #cruise
