Itinerary

History, creativity and innovation come together in Amsterdam
Even during Amsterdam’s Golden Age—when its famous UNESCO World Heritage–listed canal belt was created—the city was already known for its creative spirit. Artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn shaped its cultural identity, and centuries later, Amsterdam has never lost that innovative edge. With this combination ticket, you can explore both the historic roots and the modern creativity that define the Dutch capital.

After cruising through the beautiful 17th-century canals, step straight into the present at the STRAAT Museum, located in Amsterdam’s creative epicentre north of the IJ river at the former NDSM Wharf. This unique pairing takes you on a journey from past to present and offers excellent value—exactly the kind of smart, money-saving experience you want on a city trip.

A museum for street art and graffiti
The STRAAT Museum is unlike any other museum in Amsterdam. Yet, just like the masterpieces once displayed in the Rijksmuseum, the art shown here has the power to influence culture far beyond the city. The collection is constantly evolving, with rotating exhibitions and new works being added regularly. If you time your visit right, you may even see artists creating new pieces live inside the museum.

All artworks on display are created specifically for STRAAT, representing the global street art and graffiti movement. The setting couldn’t be more fitting: an 8,000 m² industrial warehouse that is as raw, bold, and uncompromising as the art itself—inside and out.

Soak up the sights on an Amsterdam canal cruise
An Amsterdam canal cruise is the perfect complement to a visit to the STRAAT Museum. During this hour-long boat tour, you’ll explore the iconic canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North,’ one of the city’s absolute highlights and a UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning more than 100 kilometres.

Cruise along the three most famous canals—Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht—lined with grand merchant houses from the Dutch Golden Age. Along the way, you’ll pass famous sights such as the Anne Frank House and the Skinny Bridge. The experience is enriched by an audio guide available in 19 languages, offering fascinating insights into Amsterdam’s history and architecture.
