Amsterdam: Self-Guided Canals Photography Tour
About this experience
Explore Amsterdam's canal belt with a digital app, starting at Dam Square.
From Dam Square, the route drops straight into the canal belt. You'll walk through the centuries-old Herengracht, Leidsegracht and Prinsengracht, past merchant houses and moored houseboats, then wind through the 9 Streets, where small shops and everyday Amsterdam provide endless inspiration.
Walk the route at your own pace; there is no time limit. The route focuses on finding the perfect shots, rather than ticking off all the tourist spots.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
