Stay At Amsterdam Hotels During Your City Break

Canal boat tours are a fantastic way to see cities and also help point out areas of interest you can explore further on land. Floating through the winding canals also helps you get a feel for the culture of the cities and spot hidden away gems you wouldn’t otherwise see. Amsterdam, Prague and Venice are wonderful cities to take advantage of canal sightseeing tours. Sightseeing all day can be very tiring so make sure you take a proper look at the Venice, Prague and Amsterdam hotels so you’ll have somewhere nice to crash at the end of the day.

In Prague, the sights are best seen from the water as you can admire them from all the different angles that the boat takes you on. There are many different tours available from the several wharfs located alongside the River Vltava. Seeing the city by boat ensures that you don’t miss the architectural jewels only available to see via water. The views of Prague Castle are even more spectacular from the water, as you are able to see it from several points of view. The same goes for the beautiful work of Emperor Charles IV, including the bridge that his faithful master-builder Peter Parler built over the river. You’ll also be able to admire the Judith Bridge, the worthy predecessor of Charles Bridge, from the unique spot hidden underneath Křížovnické square. There are lots of Prague hotels on offer for your holiday, so make sure you take a peek before all the good ones go!

Amsterdam canal tours take you through the 160 canals and 1,000 bridges Holland’s capital city has to offer. While you’re floating down the winding rivers, sights you’re likely to come across include merchant's houses, 17th century gables, houseboats and the old harbor. While gliding through the old centre of the city, you can admire the carillon-crowned churches and the warehouses with their rich history from Holland’s Golden Age. For those who enjoy museums, there are tours that will take you through Anne Frank’s House, the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum (National Museum) and Dam Square.

After exploring Venice on foot, stopping by the San Marco Square and Rialto Bridge and learning about Marco Polo and Casanova, and getting lots in the hidden backstreets, hop on a canal boat and see the city. While in the labyrinth of canals you will explore the famous islands of the Venice lagoon – Murano, Burano and Torcello. On these islands you can see glass-blowing displays on Murano, shop for lace on Burano and visit Venice's first church on the tranquil island of Torcello. You can also see the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, founded in the 7th century, and the excavated remains of the circular baptistery in the church of Santa Fosca. There are also plenty of Venice hotels available to enjoy during your holiday.
