Amsterdam and Optional Cruise Excursion

Amsterdam – a wonderful place to visit!

Amsterdam

The delightful city of Amsterdam, with its canals, cobblestones, café-bars and artistic heritage is worldrenowned for its popular museums – the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Rembrandt House. All house immediately recognisable works of art from some of the great Dutch Masters. Another of Amsterdam’s most visited museums is the poignant Anne Frank House, the building in which the young girl and her diary were hidden during much of the Second World War. Relaxed and laid-back, Amsterdam has a thriving cafeculture, and when you’ve finished enjoying the sights, take a seat in a cafe or bar to watch the world go by.

Your Hotel

The stylish Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport is located in Hoofddorp, just a ten-minute coach transfer from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The bright, spacious Hyatt Place offers comfortable public areas, an excellent restaurant, a 24-hour selfservice café, a ‘Coffee to Cocktail’ bar and a fitness centre. The buffet breakfast, which is included, is available from 6am. The rooms are spacious and air-conditioned with each offering a TV, free Wi-Fi, minibar, safe, hairdryer, an ironing board and tea/coffee - making facilities. Our tour manager will be on hand during your stay to help you with any questions and to offer assistance.

If our canal cruise tour (below) isn’t for you, a visit to the Dutch capital simply wouldn’t be complete without an afternoon spent strolling along the canal-lined streets, watching the narrowboats, and enjoying the iconic, narrow gabled houses that line the streets. As with much of The Netherlands, Amsterdam is largely flat, an aspect that encourages and enables exploration of the city’s sights on foot. Amsterdam also has a great network of trams and buses which, with the use of a public transport chip card (paid for in advance online or locally), will speed up your exploration of the sights, and give you discounted entry to a number of attractions.
