The Grachtenrondvaart Alkmaar is a guided canal boat tour through the historic center of Alkmaar, departing from De Mient near the Waaggebouw.

The 45-minute cruise winds past some of the city's most scenic spots, including 22 remarkably low bridges that require passengers to duck down as the boat passes beneath them.

Tours run Monday through Saturday from April to October, with boats departing every hour on the hour starting at 11:00 AM. From May through September, Sunday cruises are also available.

The last departure each day depends on weather conditions and passenger numbers.
