Artistic Awakening at Amsterdam's Museums
Step into the vibrant world of Dutch Golden Age art with this comprehensive Amsterdam experience. Begin your day with an early morning visit to the iconic Rijksmuseum, the city's most frequented attraction. As an early visitor, you'll relish the privilege of being among the first to witness Rembrandt's Night Watch, a masterpiece that has darkened over time due to a 1940s varnish. This exclusive viewing, devoid of the usual crowds, is facilitated by a local English-speaking guide, offering rich insights into works by legendary artists such as Vermeer and Rembrandt. Post a refreshing lunch break, delve into Van Gogh's intense world at the dedicated Van Gogh Museum. It's intriguing to know that Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime, but now, his art is adored globally. The guided tour will provide incredible insights into his life and artistic genius.
Canal Cruise: A New Perspective on Amsterdam
On completing the museum visits, board a canal boat for a scenic cruise. As you glide on Amsterdam's beautiful waterways, admire the city's architecture, and vibrant houseboats, and observe the cyclists bustling by. You'll travel through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed ‘Grachtengordel’, the intricate network of the city's canals.
