Netherlands

In the Netherlands, we will focus on the capital, Amsterdam

Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a city famous for its many canals and bridges and is a modern, liberal and tolerant city.

Old Amsterdam still reflects its prosperity as a trading center in the 17th century and as a haven for the persecuted and the oppressed.

Amsterdam is also noted for beer-brewing and as a diamond center.

In Amsterdam, we will:

• Visit the Van Gogh Museum with more than 200 examples of the artist's work

Additionally, you can:

• Take a canal cruise that will give us a canal view of its major attractions (Ann Frank's house, the Old Stock Exchange, the Royal Palace and the Weigh House) as well as the gabled houses of merchants from the Golden Age
• See the Old Stock Exchange (Beurs von Berlage) designed by Berlage
• See the Royal Palace (Koninlijk)
• See the West Church (Westerkerk) - a 17th century church with a 277 ft tower. The remains of Rembrandt lie here and Queen Beatrix was married here in 1966
