I love the Canals in the city... Amazing at night and fantastic for photography. they give the city special character and soul !

Centrally located with easy access to hotels, transport and entertainment. Not too noisy although the footpaths are narrow and uneven in some parts.

Took the tour guided boat which came part of the 48hr I Amsterdam city card, tour took about an hour with commentary on all the famous places along the route

We bought the canal 'hop on hop off' ticket. There was 4 routes available each stopping at many of the well know sights. We did the red, green and blue routes.
