Sophisticated yet youthful, Old World and ultra-modern, Amsterdam has something for everyone! There’s over 40 museums to discover, ranging from the Dutch Masters to contemporary design. Take a peak inside the stately Renaissance-era homes (the Dutch leave their curtains open) and you’ll glimpse modern interiors and sleek designs. Best of all, it all manages to blend harmoniously.
On your included canal tour, you’ll slip under graceful bridges, passing grand hotels and house boats, BMWs and bicycles. Your tour includes entrance to the world-class Rijksmuseum, the Dutch answer to the Louvre.
You’ll also have free time to explore at your own pace or take advantage of our optional tours. Perhaps you’ll choose an optional tour to the Delft porcelain factory and the Hague or an optional Vermeer tour. Another optional tour choice takes you to Aalsmeer Market, the “Stock Market” of flowers as well as to Zaanse Schanse Open-Air Museum and the traditional Dutch town of Edam.Included Features:
- 3 nights at the Superior First-Class NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky (or similar) with buffet breakfast daily
- Canal boat tour of Amsterdam & tour of Rijksmuseum
- Vantage Program Manager, transfers, and baggage handling (except in customs)
