Even in the Golden Age of Amsterdam when its famous UNESCO World Heritage listed canal belt was created, Amsterdam was known for its creative inhabitants, such as Rembrandt van Rijn. And much like the canals, Amsterdam has never lost its creative edge. With this combination ticket you can explore both the history and creativity the Dutch capital has to offer.
The STRAAT Museum is located in the creative epicentre of Amsterdam, north of the river in the former NDSM-wharf. Visiting the museum, after a cruise through the beautiful 17th century canals, will take straight from the past to the present. Combination tickets like these are the money-savers you are looking for on a city trip!
The STRAAT Museum is unlike any other museum in Amsterdam and yet the art inside has the chance to impact the world just like the art in the Rijksmuseum once did. The works on display rotate frequently, while more art is added to the collection constantly. If you plan your visit carefully, you can even watch how artists create new pieces on the spot.
The art on show was made to be seen at STRAAT and the artists whose work is on display are a representation of the international street art and graffiti movement. The site of the museum fits the art on show perfectly, both inside and out. It is set in an old 8000 m2 industrial warehouse, which is as rough and radical as the art on display.
An Amsterdam canal tour is the perfect addition to many attractions and museums in the city, including the STRAAT Museum. During the hour-long cruise, you’ll discover the beautiful canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North'. The Amsterdam canal cruise is truly one of Amsterdam’s highlights, it’s no wonder that the 100km-long canal belt is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Marvel at the three most famous canals of the city, the Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht, alongside which wealthy spice merchants constructed grand houses during the Dutch Golden Age. You’ll see sights such as the Anne Frank House and the Skinny Bridge on this boat trip. The Amsterdam boat tour is significantly enriched by an audio guide, in 19 languages, packed with fascinating information about the city's history.

The canal cruise was perfect, the captin come guide gave us headphones to listen in our own language. The riverboat was clean and tidy, easy to walk on and off, it was a nice day and we got some beautiful pictures!! A great end to a fantastic tourist holiday!!

We did the early evening cruise to see the lights of the city. Easy to get tickets by turning up and allocated the next cruise. There is an audio link that you can use, but we decided to just sit outside and watch the views. An hour cruise which was interesting and pretty.

We had an hour cruise around the canals in Amsterdam and learnt a lot whilst doing it. We really enjoyed every second. My five year old didn’t want to get off. The captain was also very knowledgeable.

This is a must do on your list of things to do while visiting Amsterdam. It takes you through areas that you may not be able to walk to. The captain points out things of interest and tells the story behind it.

We had a really lovely time on the one-hour canal cruise. Our captain was very lovely and cracked a good few jokes throughout the tour. The GPS guided tour via the headphones was a fab idea and there were so many language options available which was a really pleasant surprise. We learned so much about the history of the city and the tour even helped us to find places to visit again in further detail after the tour. The price was extremely reasonable considering the excellent experience we got, and our boat even left a little early which was nice. All in all, we would definitely recommend it!

We really enjoyed it. We show I I amsterdam cards at the ticket office ans were on a boat and on our way within 10 minutes. Our captain (Tony I believe was his name) was lovely ,cheerful and very knowledge of the area, he also had 2 traniees with him and they were also lovely. The facilties were clean. If I hadn't have had the I amsterdam card I would have still paid what the price was (which I think is reasonable).

1st time in Amsterdam and loved it Booked on the Lovers Canal cruise early in the morning to get a feel for the city and to get our bearings The tour showed the highlights of the city and the comentry was good

sitting backward is really annoying... Except that I think it is very nice and the captain was a nice guy, he was really funny, making jokes.

Booked through Get Your Guide literally 20 mins before boarding. They let us join a boat that was boarding as soon as we got there, which was great, no standing around as they weren’t so busy. We took a daytime trip and glad we did. Maybe evening cruises would be better in warmer months with open boats. The boat was modern, clean and warm and no condensation at all during any part of our cruise. The headphones were included and the audio commentary was interesting. The captain also added bits and pieces of extra info which was appreciated. It was a great introduction to the canals of Amsterdam as we decided to do this trip literally an hour after arriving in Amsterdam. It helped us with our bearings and with general historical info about the city. The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that we seemed to stay on one canal, no museums seen, no Anne Frank house, nothing like that, which was a shame as lots of tourists probably visit these places afterwards. Maybe the canal boat starting from the museums area take that route? We took the one from the station. There are lots of canal boat companies, but we were more than happy with Lovers as their boats appear a lot more modern than many others we saw. I would definitely recommend the cruise and my teenage daughter said it was one of the nicest things we did when in Amsterdam.

A amazing tour with some great canal boat skills performed and a great host. This tour is very much for couples and being alone I felt a little out of place.

Done the open boat tour during the summer. A great way to see the city and the audio guide gave plenty of information along the way. Extremely relaxing to the point I almost fell asleep half way around. Would definitely do the tour again if I’m back in Amsterdam

Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Although it rained, I still enjoyed the tour. The only complaint was the audio was difficult to hear at times.
far away from every day
Nice relaxing hour around the canals. Duco (sorry if I have not got the name correct) was informative with history and fun facts. Would recommend.

It was educational, slowed down at the right places. The pilot was polite and explained well- was fun and energetic.

El tour está muy bien, en cambio si ya has hecho un freetour por la ciudad recomiendo el crucero primero, te da una vista más general, mi amiga y yo al haber hecho antes el freetour volvimos a ver sitios en los que ya habíamos estado.

Croisière avec le groupe lovers Sympathique croisière traduit en plusieurs langue 1h pour vous faire un tour des canaux avec visite guidée et indication sur les différents quartiers/monuments / place/ marché /histoire / musée de la ville etc Très bien pour découvrir une 1er fois en famille en amies en couple cette croisière et très bien adapter

Petite balade bien sympathique, est l’audio était très bien fait rien à redire. Le petit bar pour attendre est très sympa aussi avant d’accéder au bateau.

Wir hatten einen super symphatischen Bootsführer der viele Nebeninfos gab. War schön und informativ. 1 Stunde hat gut gereicht und empfehlenswert. Gute Karte erhalten für den Treffpunkt und pünktlich, sowie sauber.

Muy puntuales, un paseo tranquilo, recomiendo que cuando lo cojan miren bien la metereología, pues así podrán disfrutar mejor de las vistas.

Giro dei canali in barca assolutamente da consigliare. Audioguida in italiano e Simon simpaticissimo conducente che comunque dava ulteriori informazioni in inglese. La durata è di un'ora ma ci è dispiaciuto scendere!!
chrisbu91
Die Stunde waren zwar nur ca. 50 Minuten, aber die Tour war wunderschön. Unbedingt abends machen, die Atmosphäre ist unbeschreiblich!

Sehr nette Bootstour über die Kanäle von Amsterdam! Man bekommt viele interessante Informationen über die Stadt und deren Geschichte erzählt.
Christian D
La promenade sur les canaux dure une heure. Les audio guides permettent de suivre les commentaires dans différentes langues. Le long de cette promenade fluviale, nous découvrons l'histoire de la ville et des monuments "célèbres". Par contre, le confort est rudimentaire.
Teresa F
Las vistas son preciosas, aunque desde posición incómoda porque el barco estaba muy lleno. El capitán muy simpático e hizo agradable el viaje.

Crociera molto carina con guida in tutte le lingue. Partenza vicino ala stazione centrale. Durata circa un ora. Visita dei canali principali di Amsterdam. Da provare

We loved our visit to STRAAT museum. The location is great and there were so many fantastic works of art to see, we were totally delighted. There's also a very nice café with great views to have a drink.

Even though I'm not crazy about graffiti art - visiting this museum was a great experience. The huge artworks, the unique space, and the colorfulness of everything made for a fantastic visual experience. I did not read the explanations of all the works, but the free phone-based audio tour gives some interesting explanations, and some large signs provide interesting clarifications about types of graffiti work, about the influence of graffiti on social campaigns etc.

This has got to be the best place to see this art form.. I can honestly say it's the longest I've stayed at a gallery. We loved it. Easy to hop on the free ferry at the back of the train station. Head for the building with the mural of Anne Frank on he side. A large factory building,well laid out. Some seating benches as you walk round and plenty of information as you walk round. Toilets on upper level as is the street food cafe.

Straat was a great street art center . There were really professional graffitti and mural artists . I was tired of taking great photos
cdcart
During our trip to Amsterdam, one of the standout experiences was visiting a unique venue that perfectly complemented the boldness of the art on display. To get there, simply take the ferry from Centraal and spend the day in the NDSM area. This is definitely a must-see!

Wow what an experience that shouldn’t be missed of anyone’s list visiting Amsterdam ! The adventure begins getting to the place, short ferry ride across from Amsterdam central station We have visited many graffiti exhibitions all over the world and this one stands close at the top as one of our favourites! The size of each piece of art is amazing and how it is displayed in the building A large variety of artwork to view and so much information shared on each piece We didn’t take a guided tour, we chose to work our way a round the exhibition by ourselves. It’s one of the first exhibitions visited not to have a big display of Banksy but in reality it has so many other artists artworks that’s just as incredible it wasn’t missed. The vibe is so relaxed and open it was an enjoyable visit Cafe was welcoming and in style to the exhibition Amazing visit and we will be back next time in the city.

Awesome museum a free ferry ride away from Grand Centraal station. Thought provoking art. Lots of space to breathe and contemplate. Highly recommend.

Magnifique musée avec des œuvres plus surprenantes les une que les autres … endroit calme et agréables !!!! Aucun regret !

Mooie exposities met streetart. Om Donkey moest ik erg lachen, echt fantastisch. Complete info bij ingang over toegankelijkheid. Ivm verbouwing kon ik in de shop me melden, om gebruik te maken van een lift. Later zal deze vrij toegankelijk zijn neem ik aan. Café op de tweede verdieping heeft heerlijke dranken warm en koud en een goede kaart qua streetfood. Aanrader is de funky fries! De koffie is er heerlijk. De hal zelf is wat lastig rijden, ivm metalen strips om de 2(??) meter. Mijn rolstoel heeft een elektrische aandrijving, met beleid goed te doen. Om te duwen lijkt me wat ongemakkelijk. Een installatie is met klein platform lift te bereiken. De andere lift gaat naar eerste en tweede verdieping. Wc’s bereikbaar met oprijplaat, invalidetoilet met sleutel. Kwam hier terecht na de Friends Experience, deze ligt 300 m verder. Kan dit museum aanbevelen, leuke sfeer en goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. En goede horeca voorzieningen!

Très sympa, différents styles, cela parle aussi des femmes dans ce milieu donc top! Sinon pour info, ils prêtent des fauteuils roulants gratuitement donc ça c'est super par contre pour les "purs" français les écrits et l'appli audio guide est en anglais ou néerlandais.
MartineMarie22
Unieke ervaring. De juiste plek om dergelijke streetartkunst op zijn best te tonen. topkunstenaars! Kunstwerken waar menig overroepen gallery artiesten een voorbeeld aan kunnen nemen.

Expérience incroyable, l'espace est immense et il y accueille de très belles œuvres, les dimensions sont impressionnantes, on plonge dans cet univers magique ! L'environnement est super aussi, on débarque en ferry pour y accéder et on trouve des restos sympa à proximité toujours dans cet univers industriel ! Parfait
