School trip to Amsterdam

The metropolis of bicycles

Amsterdam is both a metropolis and a small town and a new experience for many students. A wide variety of lifestyles have coexisted here for centuries. Tolerance and openness characterise today's Amsterdam, and long forgotten are the days when the city was considered a Mecca for hippies and backpackers. Whether exploring the numerous canals, marvelling at the famous museums and cinemas, visiting the bars and restaurants on Rembrandtplein, shopping or cycling - this city offers everything that is fun for a great school trip!
