Tour Overview
Enjoy two of Amsterdam’s most iconic experiences with one convenient ticket: a scenic canal cruise and a visit to the Van Gogh Museum. This combo ticket includes a one-hour boat tour along Amsterdam’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, offering beautiful views of the city’s 17th-century heritage from the water. During the cruise, you’ll pass famous landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, the Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge), and Westerkerk.
With the same ticket, you can also visit the Van Gogh Museum either before or after your boat cruise, depending on your selected time. The museum houses more than 200 works by Vincent van Gogh, including landscapes, still lifes, drawings, and letters, as well as works by his contemporaries like Monet and Gauguin. This combined experience allows you to make the most of your time in Amsterdam while saving both time and money.
