Museum & Tour Jul 2

2 Canal Experiences in 1
A very special Lampedusa tour in collaboration with the Museum of the Canals in Amsterdam. Before or after the canal tour, you can visit the museum for free.

You sail on our boat ‘Hedir’ through the canals of Amsterdam. A captain and a guide will accompany you on this tour. Both have landed in Amsterdam as refugees themselves. They will tell you about the city, but then a slightly different story. They will tell you how a fishing boat from Egypt came to be used by people smugglers to transport dozens of people across the Mediterranean, and how these original refugee boats ended up in the canals of Amsterdam in 2015. And they tell you how they themselves became part of this refugee story.

The tour takes 1 hour and starts in front of the Grachtenmuseum at Herengracht 386 at 11am (11:00)

Before or after the tour, you can visit the museum for free. Get to know the history of Amsterdam and its canals in an adventurous way. The Museum of the Canals is located in a 17th-century canal house on the Herengracht, with classical period rooms, a permanent multimedia tour, a canal garden and changing exhibitions. Fun for all ages!
