City Breaks in Amsterdam

The Netherlands

Irene Clunie, Short Break Specialist

"When visiting the picturesque city of Amsterdam, I find a canal cruise is a must! This allows you to glide through several of the famous canals while taking in the spectacular surroundings and historic landmarks – a great way to see more of the city. My top tip is to go during the evening when the canals are lit up."
