Amsterdam houseboats for rent

Originally ships merchandize were unloaded in the city harbor to barges and brought through Amsterdam canals to the merchants working and living in town. Today Amsterdam 2500 houseboats do not sail — they are permanently moored along the city canals. To rent a houseboat means to try this exotic, but also convenient and modern way of living.
What is it like to live in a houseboat on Amsterdam canal
Most of Amsterdam houseboats are like small houses built on water, usually with a terrace and a small garden on the deck. Today all of the houseboats are permanently connected to the city water and power system.
Some of the boats are very modern inside, with all possible luxurious amenities, but even those more modest equipped only with a small bathroom, offer Amsterdam visitors a relaxing way of stay. A light fresh breeze coming from the canals makes you feel like living in Amsterdam suburbia. While living on the boat may seem most of all romantic, it is also a way of living in the city centre without the need for constant commuting during your stay.
