About

An open boat loop around the UNESCO listed canal ring, passing the Seven Bridges viewpoint on the Reguliersgracht and the narrowest house on the Singel with commentary running in several languages at once. It is the easiest single hour for understanding how the whole ring fits together, something that is hard to grasp on foot one bridge at a time. Boarding points cluster near Centraal Station and Damrak, most departures run rain or shine under a canopy.
