18 Stunning Outdoor Ice Skating Rinks Around the World
"Amsterdam's famous canals are only a few yards deep, so winter freezes are rare (and becoming rarer due to climate change), but when it does happen, the Dutch are quick to grab their skates. There is usually some warning that the canals will soon be skateable. When the weather service predicts a big freeze, the city will close off traffic to certain canals to stop the current and help the freezing process. You will have to be extremely lucky to catch the next deep freeze in Amsterdam — the last one took place in February 2021 — but if you do find yourself gliding under the city bridges, it will probably be one of the most unique and special skates of your life." - Travel + Leisure Editors

If in Ámsterdam Holland, treat yourself to a canal tour. Day or night are good, informative and historical
At night, the Art work is best appreciated.

The Amsterdam canals and the houses adjacent to them are incredibly stunning. The canals themselves are wide, the houses are tall and beautiful. While there were a lot people on the different streets, it was still quite peaceful. If i had to choose one place to live for the rest of my life, it would be one of these canal houses.

Walking around the canals is a must-do! I definitely recommend exploring on foot, wandering through the streets, and don’t forget to jump on a boat tour to check out the city from a different angle. There’s so much to see and do in Amsterdam!

A must see if you visit Amsterdam. The canals are a very important part of Amsterdam’s history. I recommend doing a smaller intimate cruise that you can find online instead of the big cruises. With a guide you will learn about all of the bridges and buildings and waterways. You can also find Airbnb’s of house boats on the canal.

Venice of North Western Europe? Since centuries ago the Dutch moved around Europe to build up cities, like the old town of Stockholm and here is the real deal, to make a city ontop of water going back centuries. The canals tills the story of Amsterdam, its Heritage and history, its culture and feel, its reality and dream.
