We've had a fun day in Amsterdam by visiting Madame Tussauds and going on a canal cruise. We posed for pictures with many celebrities, like Jennifer Aniston, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the Dutch Royal Family. Even though they weren't real, they are unbelievably realistic wax replicas. My mother-in-law actually thought that we met Johnny Depp! The Amsterdam canal cruise was also wonderful as we passed under picturesque bridges, including the famous Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug). All in all, Madame Tussauds and Canal Cruise were well worth it!
Although my husband and I enjoyed the Amsterdam canal cruise much better, our daughter preferred Madame Tussauds. She is a big fan of One Direction, especially of Zayin Malik, so we had to snap countless pictures of him and our daughter. The wax figures in Madame Tussauds Amsterdam look so realistic, you have a feeling it's really them! I have to say that this ticket deal is great for families. It combines what kids want to see and what parents want to see. A win-win situation!

AMSTERDAM CANAL DISTRICT
During the Amsterdam Canal Cruise, you will glide through the famous Amsterdam Canal District. As you will hear from the audio commentary, "grachten" is the Dutch word for a canal. Main "grachten" in Amsterdam are Prinsengracht, Herengracht, Singel, and Keizersgracht. Together they form the so-called "Grachtengordel", which is the local name of Amsterdam's Canal District. As you glide the canals, it will become obvious why Amsterdam is sometimes referred to as the "Venice of the North". Canals played an important role in the city's history for many reasons, including trade and transportation, defense, and urban planning. But most importantly, they were, and still are, essential in water management, as Amsterdam is located below sea level.
AMSTERDAM CANAL CRUISE ROUTE
As you embark on the Amsterdam Canal Cruise, you will glide along Prinsengracht, where you'll pass by the Anne Frank House. This canal connects with the Amstel River by the picturesque Bloemgracht canal. While you float on the Amstel River, you'll pass under the prominent Magere Brug, also known as the Skinny Bridge. Learn more about the history of this iconic bridge from the audio guide commentary. Next, you will reach the Keizersgracht, dotted with impressive houses built during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. Later, you will glide through the prestigious Herengracht Canal and the Golden Bend. This is where Amsterdam's wealthy merchants built their lavish mansions. On the last part of the Amsterdam Canal Cruise voyage, you will reach the Singel Canal. From here, you will be able to have a magnificent view of the city's oldest part, built in medieval times!

Experiencing the Dutch Golden Age at the Madame Tussauds Amsterdam
Amsterdam flourished in the 17th century, and this period is often referred to as the Dutch Golden Age. It was the time when many of Amsterdam's canals were dug, the same ones you will glide on during the Amsterdam Canal Cruise. When you visit Madame Tussauds, you will see some of Amsterdam's most prominent figures from that period, or to be more precise, their realistic wax replicas. These include world-renowned painters Rembrandt van Rijn and Johannes Vermeer, but also that era's most famous philosopher, Baruch Spinoza.
