Amsterdam is a city of canals, so why not experience it from the water? We present a selection of water housing in the main city of Holland - seven boats to live in.
We chose interesting boats in Amsterdam where you can live! From simple boats with modest conditions around Amsterdam to luxurious houseboats in the center.
How to save money when looking for housing
About prices. Don't be surprised at sky-high prices - this is Amsterdam, and housing is very expensive here. In the center or close to it, you can rent a house on the water (houseboat) from about 150 euros per day - these are real floating houses with a beautiful thoughtful interior and all the amenities. But modest boats with Spartan conditions start at 40 euros - and they do not always have basic amenities such as a shower.
How to save money. Look for a house on the water or a boat that can accommodate the company and share the price with your friends. Boats moored in the suburbs or outskirts of Amsterdam are cheaper.
Look for interesting excursions on the Sputnik and Tripster websites. Individual and group, no crowds of tourists and in Russian.
Authentic boat in the center with jacuzzi
Cozy tree upholstered boat in the heart of Amsterdam. The semi-antique interior is harmoniously combined with modern technology - there is a full kitchen, jacuzzi, heating, internet. Swans come every morning!
The boat can accommodate up to 4 people. Price - from 189 € per night for two.
Adventure for two on a sailboat
If you want an extraordinary experience, rent a sailboat for an overnight stay. In the Netherlands, such options are not a gimmick! 20 km from the city, the hospitable owners offer a boat, which stands near their house.
The boat has all the amenities - sleeping places, a kitchenette with a gas burner and a biochemical toilet. The shower is in the owner's house. Fall asleep under the splash of water and wake up in a good mood!
Accommodation is designed for two. In all seasons, an overnight boat trip costs 42 €.
Minimalistic houseboat in the center
A home with everything you need in the heart of the city. The minimalistic design is complemented by pleasant little things - flowers, lamps, paintings. Bonus - warm floor, terrace and round bed.
The house can accommodate up to 4 people. Cost - from 260 € per day for two.
Night on the catamaran
An unforgettable experience is living on a large catamaran that is moored at Den Helder, just north of Amsterdam. The old harbor of the Willemsoord naval shipyard is very cozy. There are museums and good restaurants around.
Tourists spend the night in stylish double cabins, use a kitchen and a toilet with a shower. There is a washer and dryer on board. The courteous skipper offers rides on the Wadden Sea.
A night for two costs 90 €.
Old yacht
In the eastern suburbs of Zeewolde, tourists can spend the night on a sailing yacht Defender-15, moored in the port. It was built in 1969 and is in excellent condition. The harbor is a 15-minute bike ride to Harderwijk Train Station.
There are beds and a living room inside the ship. Toilet and shower are located 30 m away, on the shore. Much like camping! An overnight stay for two costs 40 €.
Romantic dutch boat
The beautiful sailboat Tintel is located within the Yacht Club, a 5-minute walk from Weesp Train Station. A good restaurant The Walrus and several café-bistros are 200 m away. Amsterdam Central Station is 15 minutes away by train.
A 9 m long boat with a flat bottom is specially equipped for a comfortable life on the water. It has heating, running water, a small kitchen with a coffee machine, a double bed and a bunk bed. Tourists love the cozy semi-antique interiors and the opportunity to feed ducks and swans.
Accommodation is designed for four people. In low season it costs 123 €, and in high season - 138 €.
Water camping for a group of friends
Sleep and relaxation on the water is great! Not a bad place to stay cheap in Amsterdam, the northern suburb of Oudendijk. A spacious boat 12 m long is moored on a picturesque canal. It has bedding, a kitchen with a gas burner, a set of dishes, raincoats and mosquito nets.
There is no shower or electricity, so this option is suitable for those who are not afraid of Spartan conditions. The owner lives nearby. At any time, he is ready to provide all possible help and give practical advice.
Accommodation is designed for four people. Boat accommodation costs 42 €.
