Grachtenrondvaart Alkmaar Marina

Hop aboard a guided 45-minute canal tour right in the heart of historic Alkmaar, departing near the iconic Waag (weighing house) every hour on the hour from April through October, Monday to Saturday, starting at 11:00 AM. You just show up, buy your ticket on the boat with cash or card, and you're off exploring the city's charming waterways. It's a genuinely lovely way to see the old town from the water, with the Dutch gabled facades and bridges drifting past as you go.
