AMSTERDAM
This morning, we’ll ferry across the IJ River for a personalized tour of the Rijksmuseum, led by local guide Merel. Our tour will highlight how wool and textiles have shaped Dutch history and art, from Golden Age portraits to household scenes.
We’ll gather for a delightful brasserie lunch, after which you’ll have free time to explore Amsterdam’s renowned cultural landmarks at your own pace. Options include the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House (advance booking recommended), Museum Van Loon, or Rembrandt House.
Prefer a relaxed afternoon? Enjoy bitterballen (Dutch Meatballs) or a local lager at an historic café. In the evening, savor dinner in the city or unwind back at the hotel with your knitting projects.
