WILD B.O.A.R. OUTDOOR RECREATION
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS EXPRESS TRIP September 9-11 The city of Amsterdam has a way of getting your attention. Amsterdam is famous for its canal houses, windmills, narrow streets and bicycle riders. Rich merchants built gabled houses along neatly laid canals. The best way to see Amsterdam is by walking or taking the many trams that go around the city. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and don’t forget to bring an umbrella. The Dam Square is the city's heart and the site of the original dam across the Amstel River that gave the city its name. Encircling the square are the Royal Palace, the New Church, several department stores, hotels and restaurants. Museumplein is the main cultural center, with the Rijksmuseum, Concertgebouw, van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum nearby. A visit to Amsterdam is not complete without a visit to the Anne Frank House. Passport Required. Cost: $89 per adult, $69 per child (3-12), $10 per child under 3

You can reserve seats in a particular tent by contacting the company who owns it. But be fast everyone wants to be at the Oktoberfest.
