Sleeping on a houseboat in Amsterdam is an experience in itself. You drift off to the gentle lapping of water against the hull and wake up to views over the canal or the IJ. Many boats have their own deck or terrace, where you sip morning coffee as the city slowly comes to life.

The houseboats in this guide range from cosy suites to spacious vessels, spread across Amsterdam's waterways: from the canals in the centre to the quiet quays in the East and North. Each boat has its own character and a host who shows you the loveliest spots on the water.
