HOLLAND
UPDATED TOUR
4 DAYS
Dordrecht
Three Dutch Cities to Truly Delight Our Dutch tour takes us to three fantastic cities, including the stunning ‘s-Hertogenbosch, glorious Gouda – complete with syrup waffle, of course! – and delightful Dordrecht, where we enjoy time to explore. PACKAGED ITINERARY Day 1 Arrival We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner. Day 2 Gouda & Dordrecht Today we travel to Gouda for a taste of the city at the Van den Berg Tearoom , where we enjoy tea/coffee and an authentic Gouda syrup waffle . Van den Berg is a traditional bakery that has been baking waffles for over 100 years to a very secret recipe! (Please note, due to the size of the bakery, the group may need to be split into two.) We then have some free time in Gouda before making our way to Dordrecht, the ‘Venice of Holland’. Here, we can explore at leisure, taking in the many sights of one of Holland’s oldest cities, with its cobbled streets and pretty, traditional brick houses intertwined with waterways and harbours. Don’t miss the Grote Kerk (Great Church), the Dordrecht museum or the Groothoofd Quay where the rivers meet. You could change this day to include a visit to the ever-fabulous Amsterdam or the home of the famous Royal Delft earthenware, Delft. Please ask your Account Manager for further details. Day 3 ‘s-Hertogenbosch Today we visit ‘s-Hertogenbosch, also known as Den Bosch. We enjoy free time to explore this city, packed with historic buildings and fascinating museums. The magnificent St John’s Cathedral is a must see, with its beautiful Gothic architecture and stunning interiors, and there’s plenty to discover in the selection of museums, including the Het Noordbrabants Museum, which, among its art displays, features early works by Van Gogh. We could also visit the Jheronimus Bosch Art Center, which houses an exhibition on the life and work of artist Jheronimus Bosch, who was born in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, or the Design Museum Den Bosch of modern art, ceramic art and jewellery. We may prefer to take it easy with a relaxing boat tour of the centuries-old canal system, or get comfy with a drink and bite to eat in one of the welcoming cafés. Day 4 Departure After breakfast, we begin our journey home.
