In Netherlands * Full Day Excursion To Amsterdam * Visit Keukenhof / Madurodam | |
|
Today your full day excursion is to Amsterdam, where Windmills still wield their magic. There's a photo stop at one - note how the sails turn counter-clockwise. Clogs and Holland are inseparable and a factory visit demonstrates this traditional business. The canals beckon as you board a glass topped boat and glide past regal mansions, houseboats and bridges. A canal cruise in Amsterdam is a rewarding experience. Spend some free time at Dam Square with the New Church, the Royal Palace and the National Monument. If you come to Holland when tulips are in bloom (only from March 25th to May 20th) the famous Keukenhof Tulip Gardens provide the Wow factor ! The rest of the year visit Madurodam, the enchanting miniature city which features the best of Netherlands. Here windmills turn, boats sail and trains move on the world's largest miniature railway !

Onto The Rhineland * Visit Cologne Cathedral * Cruise On The River Rhine * Visit Heidelberg | |
|
This morning proceed to Cologne,
the metropolis on the Rhine where on arrival you will visit the
Cathedral - the first Gothic church in the Rhineland with its
characteristic spires. Later drive to Boppard through the Rhine valley. Anyone owning a castle overlooking the valley was in a powerful position, since he was able to survey and regulate the flow of traffic across his particular territory and levy tolls on merchants. Along this stretch of river, there are more castles than in any other river valley in the world. Enjoy a cruise today along the 'Romantic Rhine'. On this stretch of river you see castles, villages and vineyards and the Loreley where the river valley runs through dramatically elevated hillsides. The Loreley is a treacherous precipice that for centuries trounced ships traveling the Rhine River. The male sailors, of course, blamed their tragedies on a woman. A legend developed that a young, beautiful maiden with long, blonde hair would sing and distract the sailors. You can see a statue of the Loreley near the cliff. Continue your scenic drive to Heidelberg, situated in the Valley of the River Neckar and world famous for its romantic castle and picturesque Old Town with aweinspiring surroundings. Enjoy some free time at the " Altstadt" - old section of the town - wander around the winding alleys steeped in history or stroll through the pedestrians Haupstrasse (high street), the main shopping avenue in Heidelberg. Later, check into your hotel in the Rhineland Area. (B, L, D) |
