Step by Step
Be sure to visit this spectacular house in the heart of the Herengracht, which houses the Amsterdam Canal Museum. With your ticket you can immerse yourself in the world of the Dutch canals, their history and their importance in the development of trade and local engineering.
You will be able to tour this marvellous building with a free audio guide and travel back to the 1600s, a time when the city was vibrating in its splendour of economic and architectural growth. By means of different multimedia tools, the museum tries to transmit the fundamental role of the canals in the daily life and history of the city. So much so that since 2010 UNESCO has recognised Amsterdam's canals as a World Heritage Site.
You will learn about curiosities and epic moments in the life of this network of canals, such as the famous Gay Pride parade, the Beatles' boat ride in their heyday or the ice skating of some adventurers, when they froze during the winter. These canals have a life of their own and many stories to tell!
If you are on a trip to the Dutch capital, this museum is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the history of the city and what its mythical canals represent, which transcends its characteristic beauty to become part of its identity.
