I was astonished with the way of life on boats in Amsterdam, I fell in love immediately. We didn't have high expectations comparing to widely popular museums in Amsterdam, but it was extraordinary.
We have time to stroll along different canals and found a boat museum which allowed visitors to embark on the boat to view the different partitions inside. A nice experience and good explanation by the boat dweller.
We spotted this online before we arrived and had to visit.
First time on a house boat and it was amazing to see the history of that boat.
We where the only ones on it and it was very cheap.
It is a real boat-house with all the furniture inside, so you really feel how it is to live inside that kind of boats. A way of living that I envy but I'm not sure if I could do it since living in a boat leads to a lot of problems related with floods and so...
I love house museums and this is the first houseboat museum I've ever visited. It was great to see how a family might live on a boat, and learn a bit about how they are made and some of the history. Adorable wee place. I felt like this was another museum that was overlooked in tourist info, and we just happened to walk by it one day. It's very near the 9 streets shopping area and that would make a nice afternoon visit. You can even get a coffee here!
I enjoyed this more than the Het Grachtenhuis (Canal House museum). I guess I don't like multi-media experiences!
Only problem was that it was the hottest weekend in August and the boat was very hot inside, I should have taken a sun hat and sunglasses - but the views were good.
