Acerca

Los canales de Ámsterdam han sido el motor económico y cultural de la ciudad desde su construcción en el siglo XVII. En 2010 la UNESCO reconoció su valor declarando el cinturón de canales de Ámsterdam patrimonio de la humanidad, pues se trata de proyecto de planificación urbanística único que constituye una obra de arte en sí mismo. Además, los canales simbolizan el desarrollo económico, político y cultural de la ciudad durante el Siglo de Oro neerlandés, época en la que Ámsterdam era el centro del comercio mundial.

Un paseo en barco por los canales de Ámsterdam permite observar la ciudad desde una perspectiva totalmente diferente. Con este paseo en barco podrán apreciarse los lugares más emblemáticos de la ciudad, acompañado de una audio-guía en español incluida.
