Amsterdam City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus and Boat

Discover Amsterdam at your own pace with a hop-on hop-off bus and boat ticket. The bus makes stops at key locations around the city, giving you the chance to see many neighborhoods, historic squares, and cultural landmarks.

You may want to explore the Jordaan District, a charming neighborhood filled with cafes, shops, and galleries, or stop at Dam Square to see the Royal Palace and the National Monument. In the Museum Quarter, you’ll find two of the city's most famous museums, the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. Other highlights along the route include the Heineken Experience, the Jewish Cultural Quarter, and Leidseplein, a bustling square known for its dining and nightlife.

Your ticket also includes a 60-minute canal cruise, offering the chance to see the city from the water. Amsterdam's canals are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and along the way you'll pass historic homes, bridges, and landmarks from the Dutch Golden Age.
