Magere Brug (Pass by)
Cruise beneath Amsterdam’s famous Skinny Bridge over the Amstel.

The Amstel (Pass by)

House On The Three Canals (Pass by)
Look out for a canal house bordered by three different waterways: Grimburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal.

Sea Palace Restaurant (Pass by)
Discover an unexpected sight on Amsterdam’s waterfront: Sea Palace, a floating Chinese restaurant operating since 1984.
