It won’t take long to fall in love with the Dutch capital, and today you’ll have a full day to deepen that affection for this historic yet vibrant city, known for its cozy gezelligheid. The adventure begins at Keukenhof Tulip Gardens, one of the world’s largest flower gardens, where seven million spring-flowering bulbs spread across 32 hectares create a breathtaking display. In addition to its floral beauty, Keukenhof features sculptures and art installations that add an extra layer of charm, with each year dedicated to a unique theme. Next, we visit Zaanse Schans, a recreated 18th/19th-century village in Zaandam. This picturesque area, with its historic windmills, green wooden houses, and workshops, offers a glimpse of old Holland. Here, you’ll witness demonstrations of traditional cheese-making and Dutch wooden shoe crafting, with time to explore and shop before heading to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.
The evening unfolds with a tranquil canal cruise in a glass-topped boat, the perfect way to experience Amsterdam’s enchanting waterways. As you glide along 100 km of canals, you’ll pass grand merchant houses, gothic churches, museums, and medieval buildings, all illuminated by the soft glow of the city. A live commentary enriches the experience, bringing Amsterdam’s history and culture to life. After soaking in views of the city’s iconic bridges and bustling streets, enjoy free time at Damrak, Amsterdam’s lively main square, filled with shops and cafes. To end the day, we gather for a delightful Indian dinner before settling in for the final night in the Netherlands.
