Utrecht and Amsterdam like so many of the Dutch cities they can be admired in all their splendor from the water. Walking around is beautiful, you will discover truly fantastic views and alleys, but a tour by boat or canoe, or in pedalos, as is often seen doing in channels Dutch, in my opinion is priceless. Even our guide explained it to us, when asked "the first thing that comes to your mind about Holland?" replied "the water."
Utrecht - In Utrecht it is possible to get around with the boat between the canals to see the beautiful facades, trees and bridges, some of which have more than 200 years. The boat can be taken via the Shuttevaer, the boarding point is Oudegracht opposite number 85 or with Rederijdester, boarding point Oudegracht a / d Werf 67.
As regards the pedalos, another means of embarkation for touring Dutch cities, especially in summer, the service is offered by Canal, boarding point Oudegracht a / d Werf 167.
Finally canoes and motor boats, to do some sport or be absolutely self-sufficient in the canals of Utrecht you can rely on Kanoverhuurutrecht.
Amsterdam is another beautiful city to explore from the water, its main element. Here there are many shipping companies and let alone. In Amsterdam there are well 165 channels crossed by 1400 bridges to 75 km of canal that all wind around and inside the city.
One of the nicer ways in addition to the classic visits of the city by boats is the Fun Hop on, hop off, a sort of canal bus to navigate, getting off when you want, you pay by the day. Canal Bus, manages three fixed routes, stopping close to major attractions (Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House and others) with a total of 14 stops along three different routes throughout the city.
You can get on or off as often as you like, but it is a bit expensive (around € 20 per person for 24 hours). Timetable 9: 15-22: 45. For others information contact the tourist offices of Utrecht o Amsterdamto fly to Holland rely on Easyjet low cost flights.
