Its winding canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tell the story of centuries of trade, art and innovation. On every street corner, leaning houses bear witness to the audacity of the merchants of the Golden Age. Today, this setting of yesteryear is home to a cosmopolitan spirit, where modernity and creativity meet in perfect harmony.
As a group, you'll discover the many facets of Amsterdam, starting with its artistic heart. The Jordaan, once a haven for working-class people, now attracts visitors with its cosy cafés and avant-garde art galleries. Here, every stone whispers tales of emancipation and tolerance, while the works of Van Gogh reveal the depths of human emotion.
Your stay will also take you to Den Haag for an immersion in international dynamism. Back in Amsterdam, you'll be immersed in unique culinary experiences, from the Indonesian flavours of 'rijsttafel' to the local sweets shared in the bruin cafés.
Then hop on your bike and explore Amsterdam Noord, a district where green innovation and contemporary urbanism come together perfectly. With street art, ferries on the IJ and little-known historical anecdotes, it's a truly inspiring experience.
Finally, you'll delve into the poignant history of the Anne Frank House, where the daily life of a young girl and her family during the Occupation comes to life. You'll also visit secret places such as the Lieve Heer op Solder, a church nestled in a 17th-century attic.
