Excursion to Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague from Amsterdam

Description

During this full day tour we will discover the Netherlands outside the city of Amsterdam. A day full of variety and surprises in which we will see the modern architecture of Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands and famous for its architecture and commercial port, where we will also take a cruise to enjoy the city from the water. We will see the historic and picturesque city of Delft, the birthplace and final resting place of the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. Known as the city of princes, it is also the place where countless members of the Dutch royal family have been buried for centuries. Delft is also famous for its blue pottery and we will be able to discover all the secrets of its manufacture thanks to a visit to one of the traditional factories that are still in operation. Finally, we will visit The Hague, which is not only the seat of the Dutch government, but also the home of the Dutch royal family and the third largest city in the country. The Hague is home to most of the Netherlands' foreign embassies, as well as 150 international organisations, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. It is also home to the Peace Palace, several royal palaces, the Mauritshuis (with works by Vermeer, Rembrandt and Andy Worhol, among others) and the Binnenhof (meeting place of the Dutch government).
