Mit nicko cruises Flusskreuzfahrt auf dem Rhein in die Niederlande Amsterdam

Short break on the Rhine

4 days | Cologne • Amsterdam • Cologne

The Rhine has many faces. On the banks of Markermeer you will find the vibrant city of Amsterdam, which you will experience on our northbound cruise. The Lower Rhine region is characterised by flatlands and fields. Quite different to the “romantic Rhine” on our southbound route. The river breaks its way through the Rhenish Slate Mountains to enter the incomparably beautiful UNESCO World Heritage region of the Middle Rhine Valley. This region is famous for the many castles atop the hills on both banks, and for the Lorelei Rock. Countless songs, including the Song of the Nibelungs about Siegfried the dragon slayer, have been written about this section of the river.

Amsterdam city tour with canal cruise
Amsterdam is a city that is as vibrant as it is versatile. Modern lifestyle and the flair of the Golden Age combine to form an incomparable symbiosis. You will find ultra-modern architecture and trendy bars as well as idyllic cafés, flea markets and traditional canal houses. Nowhere else in the world are there so many listed old buildings from past centuries as in the Dutch metropolis. The houses stand so close together as if they had to hold each other up to keep from falling over. The canals give the city a special charm and remind you at every turn that you are in the heart of a seafaring and trading nation. They form a canal system that runs through the entire city area and thus shapes the face of the city. Meanwhile, the multitude of canals extends over a total length of 80 kilometers, which has earned the city the nickname "Venice of the North": 165 canals, 1281 bridges, 70 tour boats, 8 wooden drawbridges, 2,500 residential boats and 120 pedal boats will leave a lasting impression on you. Look forward to a canal cruise along the magnificent merchants' houses from the Golden Age, which will be a highlight of your visit to Amsterdam.

Excursion North Holland with Zaanse Schans

Enjoy this bus excursion and get to know the Dutch province of North Holland, located on a peninsula between the North Sea and the Ijsselmeer. Idyllic small towns, tell of a time when the Ijsselmeer still had open access to the sea and was called Zuiderzee. You will travel by bus to Zaanse Schans, where a typical 17th and 18th century residential area has been reconstructed in an open-air museum. Situated directly on the Zaan River, it exudes the special charm of the last centuries with its green wooden houses and windmills. Besides a typical wooden shoe workshop, a cheese dairy and various gardens, there are also museums to visit. Afterwards the trip goes along the Ijsselmeer coast to Edam. During a leisurely walk, you will explore this picturesque town, which is especially famous for its cheese.

Nijmegen city tour
Nijmegen city tour

The Hanseatic city of Nijmegen with its 160,000 inhabitants is the oldest city in the Netherlands and looks back on a history of over 2000 years. The city gives you a particularly impressive welcome when you cross the Waal Bridge into the center: the Waalkade and the silhouette of the city center form an impressive unit. Past and present go hand in hand; historical parts alternate with modern architecture. The city, situated on a ridge on the banks of the Waal, has exerted a great attraction on people for centuries. The city tour leads off the beaten track through small winding streets, in which you can still feel the breath of the Middle Ages. Among other things, it passes the Valkhofpark with castle ruins, the town hall, St. Steven's church, the Latin school and the customs house with mosaic wall.
