While in Amsterdam, take this magnificent opportunity to view the city from a different angle. Tour its myriad canals, lively atmosphere and lovely canal-side houses, all from the comfort of a four-seater paddle boat powered by your own pedaling. Cruise under the city's various bridges and soak in the splendors of daily life. Canal biking allows you to develop your own route through town and sightsee at your own pace. See website for more info.

Prof. Dr. Max Euwe was the best chess player The Netherlands has ever known. He became world champion in 1935. This centre, dedicated to Max Euwe himself and to the importance of his work for the world of chess, was opened in 1982. Part of the centre is a museum with a number of interesting exhibitions related to the history of chess: notes by Bobby Fischer, match reports, beautiful pieces, etc.
