Trip Summary
2 nights in Amsterdam
Easygoing, liberal Amsterdam is 'different.' Its citizens, bubbling along happily in their multiracial melting pot, are not so easily poured into the restrictive molds of trade and industry. More important, you can enjoy Amsterdam, its culture, history, and beauty, without stretching the limits of your credit cards. Few skyscrapers mar the clarity of the sky, and the populace mostly walks or bikes from place to place. The historic center recalls Amsterdam's Golden Age as the command post of a vast trading network and colonial empire, when wealthy merchants constructed gabled residences along neatly laid-out canals.
Visit Dam Square, Anne Frank House, Bloemenmarkt, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Canal Belt, Jordaan, Red Light District and so much more!
2 nights in Arnhem
Surnamed the 'Garden City on the Rhine,' Arnhem is the capital city of the province of Gelderland. The main attraction is Burgers' Zoo, the biggest and most-visited zoo in the Netherlands, featuring an underwater walkthrough, desert, mangrove forest, rainforest, and more. Don't miss the National Heritage Museum, an open air museum and park with antique houses, farms, and factories from different parts of the Netherlands.
