Item Description

Wander Along the Maze of Canals in Amsterdam, Netherlands (Europe) for Seven Days & Six Nights at the Swissôtel Amsterdam for Two, Including a Heineken Experience by Day and a Canals Pizza Cruise by Night, a Visit to the Van Gogh Museum, and a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour (Land Only)

Amsterdam boasts numerous charms, from its beautiful canals flanked by elegant 17th century merchant houses, to its collection of fascinating and world-famous museums, and the hundreds of festivals that mark space on the calendars of locals and visitors alike. But you'll find so much more to love about the Netherland's capital on this trip with two tasty treats: the interactive Heineken experience, and a cruise along the illuminated canals. You'll also have exclusive access to the famed Van Gogh museum, where you can skip the line to explore the extensive collection of famous works such as 'Sunflowers', and see major landmarks including the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House as you cruise Amsterdam's scenic waterways with your hop-on hop-off Canal bus day pass.

Spend a day dedicated to two of Amsterdam's quintessential highlights — canals and Heineken — with a visit to the Heineken Experience and the Amsterdam Canals Pizza Cruise. The fascinating Heineken Experience takes you through the history and traditions of Holland's iconic beer. The original Heineken brewery from 1867 until 1988, the Heineken Experience today is more than a museum — it's an interactive venue where you'll learn the extraordinary story behind this remarkable, world-famous brand. Then, relax on a comfortable, glass-enclosed boat as you travel along Amsterdam's UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, admiring gorgeous city views and catching sight of top attractions like the Skinny Bridge, the National Monument, the Royal Palace and St Nicolaaskerk (St Nicholas Church). After an appetizer, dig into piping hot pizza delivered to your boat straight from the ovens, along with unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks, as well as Ben and Jerry's ice cream for dessert.

With the largest collection of paintings by Vincent Van Gogh in the world -- including such famous works as The Bedroom and several self-portraits -- the Van Gogh Museum is a must-do for visitors to Amsterdam. The museum allows you to track Van Gogh's creative development and compare his paintings to works by his 19th-century contemporaries. Reach other major sights in Amsterdam with your hop-on hop-off Canal Bus pass. Cruise Amsterdam's historic canals, listening to onboard commentary available in six different languages. Hop on and off as often as you like at any of 19 stops located near top Amsterdam attractions such as the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House and the Albert Cuyp Market. Your pass is valid for 24 hours, allowing you to sightsee at your own pace.
