Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: London To Amsterdam
Location: Amsterdam
Accommodation Name: Via Hostel Amsterdam (or similar)
Meals Included: Dinner
Gather round and start spreading the Easter cheer - we're going to Amsterdam! Start getting acquainted with your new posse and grabbing any last chocolate treats for the road before we head off. Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're in awe and we haven't even left the UK! Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam! Get straight down to business and enjoy a dinner with your new Contiki family before hitting the buzzing streets of Amsterdam. Fun fact: the city has 1539 bridges, 165 canals, and 2500 house boats. Yes, you read that right, and it's all here for you to explore.
Day 2: Amsterdam
Location: Amsterdam
Accommodation Name: Via Hostel Amsterdam (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today is all about the cute vibes - get that camera on 110% charged. The world famous Keukenhof tulip gardens will wow us with their rows of dazzling colour (around 7 million bulbs if the truth be told) - this national flower garden is not to miss and is sure to be one of the highlights of the trip. Back to the city, you can explore the canals, or maybe visit the Heineken museum for a tasty local drop. Add cream to your cake of the day by indulging in a Volendam dinner at an old-style Dutch restaurant by the sea in a fishing & cheese village that will charm us to no end. The bliss!
Day 3: Amsterdam
Location: Amsterdam
Accommodation Name: Via Hostel Amsterdam (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Happy Easter global roamers! This morning we're heading to Edam for a change of scenery. We'll indulge in a different kind of dairy delight by visiting a cheese farm producing famous Dutch Edam and the chance to see how clogs are made. We will also be taking a bike ride through Dutch countryside to see working windmills. Talk about a picture perfect scene. Back in the city you can roam the streets in holiday spirits, and perhaps dabble in the chocolate kind of dairy delights if the cheese didn't quite complete you. Today you could explore the endless museums of the city like the Rijks or make a sobering stop at Anne Frank - and that's just the tip of the iceberg of goodness to be found (make sure to book in advance for your favourites!). For those that like the laid-back approach, do some shopping, or just kick back amongst their famed cafe culture. Tonight, opt for unlimited drinks as we cruise through through the canals to see the city under a flood of twinkling lights as you raise a toast to the trip.
Day 4: Amsterdam To London
Location: London
Meals Included: Breakfast
It's time to hop over Belgian & French terrain and circle back to London. If the Easter Bunny is half as good to us next year, we are very spoilt indeed. Back in London, it's time to say our goodbyes and sing any final praise to the damn fine Dutch Easter that just took place. Let's do it all again next year, festive travellers!
