A unique look into a houseboat in Amsterdam... it's not everyday you get a look inside one of these. Perhaps a little overpriced for the chance to walk around inside what is actually quite a small space, but educational nonetheless. They have a small film at one end and you can take as many pictures as you like. Try to... More

Nothing to rave about, but still a little bit interesting. I liked the video montage at the end of the boat. I would have liked to see a modern day houseboat, to see how dutch people live on them today, instead it was done out as how the dutch used to live on canal boats which was a shame. More

There are about two or three interesting things about houseboats: they were originally for the poor as an answer to city overcrowding but are now a status symbol and very expensive. Okay, come to think of it, maybe there was only one interesting thing. Your "self-guided tour" will take you through a couple of rooms with a flyer that describes... More

Worth a visit if you wonder how people live on the boats in the canals. Very small though, in and out in 5 minutes. More

An insight to life aboard a canal houseboat. There is a recording about life aboad a houseboat, photos and old film footage. As you wander through the boat sit in the chairs or at the table and even enjoy a cup of tea then have a rest on deck. It is well worth the visit. More

I went with my friend to this museum last week. It literally consists of a boat moored to side of a canal in the city. It's nice and cosy inside, with lots of nautical pictures, figurines, etc., and there is a short video about houseboats at the back of the boat. There is also a pretty little garden on top... More

An interesting self tour of the boat with an information sheet available in many languages (Hebrew included). You can also sit in the living room and enjoy a cup of coffee (extra charge), experiencing living on a houseboat for a short while. Great for children of all ages (and their parents). There's also a drawing corner for smaller children. More

I was walking aimlessly through the streets of Amsterdam when it started to rain. Right around the corner was The Houseboat Museum. After paying 3.50 Euros to enter, I spent all of about 15-20 minutes in the museum (it really is just a small 30-40 foot boat. You get to see about 4 rooms in the boat and watch a... More

Been to Amsterdam many times but never made it to the houseboat museum until now. Very friendly staff that can answer any questions. Even though of course the houseboat is small there is plenty to see, never knew how much time and money has to go into maintaining these houseboats. The decor is wonderful. Its like walking into a 1960's... More
