Trip Highlights

This is a 7-day sample itinerary that lets you thoroughly enjoy the Netherlands by staying in Amsterdam—where you can explore primarily on foot or by bicycle amid the beautiful 17th-century canals, recognized as the ‘17th-Century Canal Ring within Amsterdam’s Singel,’ a UNESCO World Heritage site.

By staying in one city and blending in with the local lifestyle, while also incorporating day trips to experience Dutch scenery and culture, you can truly savor the Netherlands at a relaxed pace.

Activities in Amsterdam include a canal tour, a visit to the Van Gogh Museum, a trip to the Rijksmuseum (which houses Vermeer’s 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'), and a gourmet tour that highlights Amsterdam’s culinary delights.
Day trips include visits to northern towns of Amsterdam featuring cheese markets, fishing villages, and windmills that once powered Dutch industry; trips to The Hague and towns where Vermeer lived; and excursions to experience the idyllic Dutch countryside.
This itinerary is designed to let you fully appreciate Dutch culture and history.

If you’re interested in art, you can opt for more art-focused activities or those centered on gourmet experiences.
All of these arrangements can be fully customized when you consult with Oooh’s local advisors.

Enjoy a tailor-made journey that’s uniquely yours.

  • Day 2

    amsterdam canal cruise

    Amsterdam: Canal Cruise, Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House

    Breakfast at the hotel.

    First, no visit to Amsterdam is complete without a canal cruise. Accompanied by a private guide, you’ll enjoy the beautiful cityscape that has evolved since the 17th century while learning about its rich history and culture.
    The tour concludes at the Rijksmuseum, the most renowned museum in the Netherlands, which houses masterpieces like Rembrandt’s 'The Night Watch' and works by renowned 17th-century Dutch artists.

    In the afternoon, you’ll visit the Anne Frank House.
    This is the building where a family hid for over two years, famously featured in 'The Diary of Anne Frank'—a diary that many read during their student days, written by a young Jewish girl during World War II.
    Today, it is preserved as a museum that continues to convey the tragedies of war.

  • Day 3

    Edam cheesemarket

    Sightseeing in Marken, Volendam, Edam, and Zaanse Schans

    Breakfast at the hotel.
    On Day 3, you’ll tour the northern towns surrounding Amsterdam to see iconic Dutch symbols such as wooden shoes, fishing traditions, cheese, and windmills.

    First, you’ll be driven to the town of Marken, located by Lake Marker, where you’ll visit a quaint wooden shoe factory in the village.  

    From Marken, you’ll take a ferry to the village of Volendam, renowned for its harbor filled with historic fishing boats. If the opportunity arises during your trip, be sure to sample the freshwater fish caught in Lake IJssel.

    Next, you’ll visit the famous Dutch cheese market, celebrated for its dairy heritage! Although the actual market is only open on Wednesdays during July and August, even visiting the square on other days is well worth it—especially given the astonishing variety of cheeses that you wouldn’t imagine finding in Japan.
    Finally, you’ll visit the windmills of Zaanse Schans. In the 17th century, during a period of rapid industrialization, over 600 windmills were built to grind spices, produce paint, cut wood, and manufacture oil. Today, it remains a beautiful spot that continues to attract visitors.
