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.
Enjoy contemporary luxury on an excellent location, just off vibrant Dam Square in the heart of Amsterdam, where behind its historical facade of 19th century buildings stands the 4-star Swissotel. Amsterdam offers all the features of a major metropolis, though modest in scale, and you can easily see most of the city by just roaming through the labyrinth of alleys and waterways. Swissôtel Amsterdam provides a calm and comfortable oasis of tranquility contrasting sharply with the hum of the busy city. The 350-year-old Royal Palace, numerous shopping areas and theaters are just around the corner. Traveling to all corners of the city as well as the rest of the beautiful Dutch countryside could not have been easier, with Amsterdam Central Station located at a stone’s throw and all major tramlines stopping right in front and at the back of the hotel.
All major sights and attractions are within walking distance. Some of the world’s finest art collections reside in Amsterdam, alongside trend-setting design shops. The residents of Amsterdam, a big attraction in the historic city, are generally known as laid-back and friendly. ‘Amsterdammers’ are more than willing to give you directions, most likely in your mother tongue. And with its myriad festivals each year, including the Tangomagia festival, HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show, Imagine Fantastic Film Festival, and the Holland Festival (just to name a few!), Amsterdam’s reputation as a City of Festivals is justly deserved.
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. |
