Start your day with a visit to Zaanse
Schans, where you will be presented
with an idyllic scene of traditional
windmills, barns, cottages, and
museums built in typical Dutch
architectural style. Watch how
cheese and clog shoes are made in
demonstrations by expert craftsmen
skilled in these traditional crafts. Then,
drive to Groningen and spend some
time exploring this university city. Arrive
at the Market Square where you will
find the highest church steeple in the
city – the Martinitoren, as well as
Martin’s Church and the Town Hall.
Make your way to Giethoorn, a beautiful,
idyllic village nicknamed the ‘Venice of the North’. Experience the beauty
and tranquility of this village as you go
on a unique boat ride, gliding along the
narrow canals and under the bridges.
During your free time, feel free to
explore the charming village on foot –
stroll past ancient thatched-roof
farmhouses and tread across old
wooden bridges. After lunch, explore
Amersfoort with a visit to the city's most
iconic architectural feature, Koppelpoort
– a combination of land and
water-gates. Next, stroll along Muurhuizen
Street, where you will find the
most beautiful medieval houses
in town, before seeing Onze Lieve
Vrouwetoren, the third highest church
tower in the country.
Today, indulge in a shopping spree at
Roermond Designer Outlet which
offers great buys with up to 70%
discount. Thereafter, proceed to
Maastricht, one of the oldest cities in
Netherlands, to visit the Dominicanen Bookstore, which looks like a beautiful
Gothic church from the outside. End
off the day with an exciting visit to the
Kerstmarkt Gemeentegrot, Europe's
largest underground Christmas
market. Who would have thought that
a Christmas market can be held in a
cave?

orientation tour in the most
complicated border town in the world,
Baarle-Nassau. This remarkable town is
made up of Belgian enclaves within the
southern part of Netherlands, but
within the bigger enclaves there are
also a few Dutch enclaves – pretty
confusing, isn't it? Learn how to
differentiate which part of the town is
in which country from your tour
manager as you navigate through the
town. Spend some free time doing some shopping, or you may wish to join

which is set among relaxing lush green
spaces in the city. Travel back to
Rotterdam to view the unique,
innovative, and eye-catching Cube
Houses, which fortunately survived the
