Guidebook for Alkmaar
Sightseeing
Canal cruise Alkmaar
26F VoormeerRent a little motorboat and explore the historical city of Alkmaar yourself from the water. Without a doubt my favorite sightseeing tour in Alkmaar!
Beautiful old buildings, the Waegh, hidden backyards, lowbridges, windmills and the green "singel"will be the highlights of your trip!
You can order an ice cream by ringing the bell at the Mient without getting out of your boat, or tie your boat up at the quay and have a drink at one of the many cafes.
If you take 2-3 hours it will give you enough time to also go to the windmills at the polder just a stonethrow away from the centre.
There are also places where you can rent a kayak.
