Amsterdam 1-Hour Canal Cruise and Ripley’s Believe It or Not｜Netherlands

Step into the extraordinary at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Amsterdam, where hundreds of remarkable exhibits, bizarre artefacts, and incredible stories from around the world are waiting to be discovered. Explore interactive displays, marvel at unbelievable collections, and uncover fascinating facts that will surprise visitors of all ages.

Through 19 themed galleries, you will be immersed in artefacts, incredible art, animal oddities, pop-culture memorabilia, and interactive games that are hard to believe yet true. From genuine shrunken human heads to a sense shattering Vortex Tunnel and the world's longest fingernails, people say it’s one of the weirdest spots in the city, but a must-see in Amsterdam if you’re interested in odd facts.

After your visit, continue your Amsterdam adventure from a different perspective with a relaxing 1-hour canal cruise. Glide through the city's UNESCO-listed canals aboard a luxury glass-topped boat and admire Amsterdam’s historic architecture, picturesque bridges, and iconic waterfront views from the water.

Admire the decorative façades and iconic landmarks of the city center, such as Anne Frank's House, the imposing Westerkerk and the Skinny Bridge over the Amstel River. Sail through the city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal ring and admire the elegant canal houses from the Dutch Golden Age, spot historic churches like the Westerkerk, and glide under charming bridges including the famous Magere Brug. Sit back and relax on this 1-hour canal cruise that takes you along some of the historic waterways and listen to the GPS audioguide, available in 19 languages, to learn interesting information about iconic landmarks such as the Westerkerk, "Skinny Bridge" and the charming Negen Straatjes neighborhood.
