Think of centuries-old churches, picturesque bridges, and grand canal houses. A canal cruise is the perfect way to admire these historical treasures and experience Amsterdam\u2019s story in a truly unique way. The Magere Brug, or Skinny Bridge, is one of Amsterdam\u2019s most photographed and cherished bridges. This iconic wooden drawbridge over the Amstel has connected the city\u2019s banks since the 17th century. Renowned for its elegant design and enchanting evening lighting, the bridge creates a romantic atmosphere. During the 750 Years of Amsterdam celebrations, the Magere Brug will shine even brighter, making it an ideal starting point for a historical cruise. <\/span><\/p>\n A cruise along the Prinsengracht<\/span><\/a> takes you past the Westerkerk, a masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age and one of Amsterdam\u2019s most prominent churches.

From the water, you can peacefully admire both landmarks and reflect on their historical significance. <\/span><\/p>\n Amsterdam Central Station, designed by architect Pierre Cuypers, is more than just a transportation hub. This impressive late-19th-century building symbolizes the city\u2019s growth and modernization. As you cruise past, you\u2019ll appreciate its blend of neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance styles, which make it a standout landmark in the city\u2019s skyline. <\/span><\/p>\n Another highlight of the cruise is the Golden Bend, the most prestigious section of the Herengracht. Here, you\u2019ll find grand canal houses built by Amsterdam\u2019s wealthiest merchants and bankers during the 17th century. These stately homes showcase the city\u2019s prosperity and sophisticated design during the Dutch Golden Age. From the water, you can admire their timeless elegance and historic grandeur. <\/span><\/p>\n At the Oosterdok, your cruise will pass the Maritime Museum and the reconstructed VOC ship Amsterdam. These sites pay homage to the city\u2019s maritime history, which dominated global trade in the 17th century. From the boat, you\u2019ll have a stunning view of the museum and the majestic ship, one of the city\u2019s most photographed attractions. <\/span><\/p>\n A <\/span>cruise<\/span><\/a> ith Rederij de Nederlanden offers a unique way to admire Amsterdam\u2019s historic icons. As you glide through the canals, you\u2019ll uncover the stories behind these remarkable landmarks, all while enjoying a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere onboard. <\/span>Don\u2019t wait any longer to <\/span>reserve your spot<\/span><\/a> for a festive journey through 750 years of Amsterdam. Discover the magic of the city like never before <\/span>and celebrate this special anniversary from the water. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”82%” custom_margin=”60px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Blue Bridge: scene of riots and likes It is the bridge that takes you from Waterlooplein to the city.
