School Trips to Amsterdam
With elegant canal houses, largely traffic free roads and a relaxed atmosphere Amsterdam has the air of a large cosmopolitan village rather than a bustling European capital. Around every corner is a picture postcard view, drenched in history and bound to captivate your students.
In terms of educational interest, it ticks all the boxes. For Art & Design students a visit to Amsterdam presents an opportunity to visit some World-Renowned Art Museums and see many paintings by the Dutch masters, Rembrandt, Vermeer and of course Van Gogh. Business & Economics students can visit the Stock Exchange which provides an interactive, educational guided tour. Amsterdam is rich in history including the Home of Anne Frank where she and her family hid from the Nazi regime and for Science students there is the Nemo Science Centre, the Science Park and Faculty of Science.
To get the feel and vibe of the city you must go on an Amsterdam Canal Cruise and for a bit of fun and rollercoasters take a side trip to the Walibi Holland Theme Park or the Efteling World of Wonders.
