Amsterdam Cruise Guide
Overview
Cruise ships dock at the elegant Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, close to the central station, and a short ride from the main attractions. Amsterdam is a city of infinite contrast for the visitor, with widely varied possibilities ranging from superb museums and galleries to a stroll through the famous Red Light district.
Sightseeing
In the historical core, most attractions are within walking distance of each other, including the major museums and galleries. An efficient tram and bus network provides links further afield.
Less cerebral pursuits are also on offer with brown cafes for cannabis smokers, and prostitutes adorning windows all day and night in the red light district.
