Daily Itinerary DAY 1 Walking tour of Amsterdam; 5 miles, easy city walking
This springtime sojourn in the Netherlands begins in its capital and largest city, Amsterdam. After meeting the guides, you set out on a morning walking tour of its vibrant and historic neighborhoods, including the Old South area, known for the early 20th-century Dutch School of Architecture. Also on the route in the Zuid neighborhood is the house where Anne Frank lived before she and her family went into hiding. Lunch is at a local restaurant, overlooking the canals. After lunch, you have a rest on the brief drive to the city of Haarlem. Your hotel is located in the historic center and upon check-in, time permitting, you can begin exploring this fascinating city directly from the hotel’s central location; museums, medieval churches, monuments, and enticing shops are all a short stroll away. You gather in the evening for a short transfer to a Michelin two star restaurant surrounded by wooded dunes. This modern venue is an ideal location to toast the start of your tour over a welcome dinner of delicately prepared local specialties.
