What’s more, this ticket saves you both time and money on two must-see Amsterdam experiences.
Take a look under your skin at BODY WORLDS Amsterdam
BODY WORLDS Amsterdam takes you on a unique and eye-opening journey through the human body. With more than 200 real plastinated human bodies on display, the exhibition reveals how our anatomy works and how our physical health and emotional wellbeing are deeply connected.
The current exhibition, BODY WORLDS: The Happiness Project, explores some of life’s biggest questions: what makes us happy, how happiness affects our health, and how our bodies respond to emotions, diet and lifestyle. Spread across seven immersive floors, the exhibition offers a powerful blend of science, education and self-reflection.
Interactive and thematically organised, BODY WORLDS features sections dedicated to the heart, the human life cycle, nutrition and the role happiness plays in shaping our bodies and lives. Join the more than 40 million visitors worldwide who have already experienced this extraordinary exhibition.
Soak up the sights on an Amsterdam canal cruise
An Amsterdam canal cruise is the perfect complement to your visit to BODY WORLDS. During this relaxing hour-long journey, you’ll explore the canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North’ — one of the city’s most iconic highlights. With over 100 kilometres of canals, it’s no surprise that this historic network is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Glide past Amsterdam’s three most famous canals — Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht and Herengracht — lined with elegant mansions built by wealthy spice merchants during the Dutch Golden Age. The experience is enhanced by an informative audio guide available in 19 languages, offering fascinating insights into the city’s history as you cruise through its waterways.
Experience Amsterdam from both the inside out and the waterline — all in one perfectly balanced day.

Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours:
Due to the operational nature of hop-on hop-off bus tours and fluctuating daily demand, we cannot guarantee that all members of a group will be accommodated on the same bus at the same time. Seat availability varies by stop and service demand, and groups may be required to split across multiple buses and/or wait for subsequent departures.
All group members must redeem their vouchers together initially. Once redeemed, individual tickets will be issued, allowing travellers the flexibility to explore independently thereafter. The requirement to remain together applies only during the voucher redemption process when tickets are booked under a single reservation.
As we are unable to guarantee that larger groups can travel together as one unit, bookings will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 5-7 passengers per ticket allocation, depending on the overall group size.
