Binnendieze Boat Tour
Binnendieze
Ride a flat-bottomed boat through medieval canals hidden beneath houses and streets. It is the most unique experience in Den Bosch.
The Binnendieze is a tributary of the Dommel River that flows through the city. In medieval times residents kept building houses and streets over the water, so large sections of the canal became “underground.” Today about 3.5 km is navigable. A roughly 50-minute ride in an open boat passes under low vaults, through gaps in the old city walls and beneath private gardens, while guides explain the city's rise and decline (mainly in Dutch or English). Tickets cost about 13 to 15 euros. In peak season the boats fill up quickly, so book in advance on the official website or at the tourist centre. The boats are low, so tall passengers should mind their heads. Boarding points are near Molenstraat and Uilenburg.
