Canal cruise, Dam Square, the lanes of the Jordaan and Rijksmuseum masterpieces: the best of Amsterdam in 4 days.

Four days to discover the essentials of Amsterdam without wasting time: a cruise on the Golden Age canals on arrival, Dam Square and the Begijnhof, the lanes and hidden courtyards of the Jordaan, then the masterpieces of Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum. A city on a human scale, ideal for a short and intense final-year trip. The date and time of departure are set with your school in the quote; the journey is made by day, with a 30-minute break every 3 hours of driving, and the coach stays with the group on site throughout the stay.

Good to know

  • Valid identity card or passport, signed parental consent form for each pupil under 18 and European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), to be requested from your health insurance fund a few weeks before departure.
  • Our drivers drive for a maximum of 3 hours, then take a 30-minute break, day and night.
  • Supervision is provided by the accompanying teachers; each pupil signs a code of conduct based on the school rules (no alcohol for minors or on the coach, no drug use, coffee shops excluded from the programme and prohibited for under-18s, punctuality and compliance with instructions during free time, care around bikes and trams).
  • The pupil list and rooming list are entered in the school's online area (Excel import possible); rooms are allocated according to your instructions.
  • Recommended period: the autumn, Carnival or spring holidays, with booking 6 to 9 months in advance; the Rijksmuseum is visited in a booked time slot and tickets for the Anne Frank House only go on sale a few weeks before the date, so they are booked as soon as sales open. The Netherlands uses the euro; bring a raincoat, good shoes and a budget of around €10–15 per pupil per day for lunches.
