Itinerary
Köln
Embarkation 15:00 to 16:00.
Amsterdam
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.
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.
