AROUND AMSTERDAM
As cities go, Amsterdam is fairly green. There’s no shortage of water and trees. And the sprawling Vondelpark is the perfect place for outdoor adventures. But just wait until you see what’s waiting for you if you venture a little further afield... Tulips at the Keukenhof, windmills at Zaanse Schans and so much more!
Here’s a little glimpse at what you can expect...
Zaanse Schans
This popular outdoor museum attracts as many as 1,900,000 people every year. You won’t want to miss out on the windmills, museums and workshops while you’re so close by in Amsterdam.
Prepare to be taken on a journey back in time by the historical machinery, architecture and attire. A brilliant experience for people of all ages!
