HOHO Boat vs Bus — Which Gives Better Amsterdam Views?

Quick rules

• Choose boat for romantic light, bridges, and canal architecture.
• Choose bus for broad cityscapes, museums, and quicker transfers between neighborhoods.

Photo checklist (boat)

• Early morning for glassy reflections
• Low angles for bridge arches
• Use a polarizer if you have one (reduces glare)

Photo checklist (bus)

• Use the open-top deck for skyline shots
• Afternoon gives warmer light on sandstone facades
