Sailing in Amsterdam

Planning to take a sailing vacation? With so many destinations to choose from it certainly can be a difficult choice. Tropical waters often come to mind first, but if you are into wonderful architecture too, a destination such as Amsterdam is filled with interesting architecture combined with many canals to explore.

There are many hotels to choose from and one area of interest is the popular, Floating Flower Market! The Floating Flower Market is a unique set of permanently moored barges featuring not only flowers from around the world, but also some great places to stay. For starters, you could do an easy map search to locate where you would like to stay.

If you love the thought of combining your sailing vacation along with an architectural adventure, you would find the two perfectly combined in an Amsterdam destination of your dreams, and plenty of tourist attractions to choose from! Happy Sailing!
