Amsterdam is one of the world’s most pedal-happy cities, where you can cycle on water, as well as on land-bound cobblestones. With a few pals (or a spouse and kids), be the captain of your own small ship as you pedal around the canals, past historic landmarks and Golden Age mansions, at your own pace. Year-round (when the canals are not frozen), Canal Bike rents four-seat pedal boats from moorings at Leidseplein, the Rijksmuseum and Westerkerk (Anne Frank House). Armed with a map and route descriptions, you can set out on a one- or two-hour adventure that can begin at one mooring and finish at another.
