Amsterdam Canal Cruise: Day or Evening?

Answer: Well, actually the correct and simplest answer is both. An Amsterdam Canal Cruise is an enjoyable experience both in daylight and at nighttime, and each one has its own uniqueness. Therefore, if you have the option, we really recommend taking a cruise in the early morning hours as well as one in the evening or at night. Another good option is to take a cruise close to sunset, so you can enjoy in one single cruise both the daytime and the evening.

But in general, if you mainly want to get to know Amsterdam and see its landmarks up close and from an interesting angle, a day cruise will definitely be your favorite. On the other hand, if you are looking for more atmosphere or a more romantic experience, an evening cruise will suit you much better.
