Amazing Amsterdam has always had strong ties to the water. Spread out over 70 islands, this cosmopolitan city, and the capital of the Netherlands, boasts 60 miles of canals and 1,000 bridges. As early as the 13th century, tiny ships sailed from this port into the challenging Zuider Sea.
Amsterdam was the birthplace of the Hanseatic League and gained renown in the 15th century when it became a major trading center, steadily assuming commercial leadership and thus controlling the country's finances. This trend remains to this day. Future-oriented and steeped in history, Amsterdam is most famous for its narrow, gabled houses lining the canals.
After a short transfer by coach to the city center, you will begin a brief panoramic city tour. Watch for some of the major historic landmarks and buildings, including the Jewish Quarter, a windmill, the Tropenmuseum and Java Island.
Boarding a glass-topped canal boat, enjoy a one-hour cruise through Amsterdam's canals.
Finally, your coach will take you to Schiphol Airport in time for your flight.
