Amsterdam, Netherlands Duration: 4 days
With its snaking canals, rich history and vibrant culture, Amsterdam is a fan favourite for our student travellers. From the world famous Rambrant and Van Gogh Museums, Anne Frank House and hidden gems, to the lively bars, youth culture and infamous red light district, there’s something for everyone.
With us, you’ll get an inside look into the 700 year history through an unmissable walking tour of the city, discovering the story of its rise from marshland town to a global superpower and the world’s largest trading centre. You’ll also have the opportunity to travel around like a true Amsterdammer by renting bikes, and much more. With so much going on, the city really is your oyster!
