Itinerary
1st Day
Depart: 17:00

The landmark and emblem of the city is the Cathedral, a masterpiece of High Gothic architecture and one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. Other tourist attractions are the town hall, the Malakoff Tower, the St Martin Church and the old abbey.
2nd Day Rotterdam
Arrive: 09:00
Depart: 16:00
The Netherlandsâ second-largest city and Europeâs busiest port is home to some of the 20th and 21st centuries' most important architectural feats, which is particularly impressive when you consider that nearly all of Rotterdam was razed to the ground during World War II. Sometimes referred to as âManhattan-on-the-Maas,â the city lives up to its reputation as a forward-looking metropolis with fascinating design and some of the Netherlands' finest museums and most trendy shops.
Marvel at buildings by starchitects Rem Koolhaas and Norman Foster or get lost in the maze of gabled homes in historic Delfshaven, the point from which the Pilgrims set sail for the New World aboard the Speedwell in 1620. In the postwar years, Rotterdam has also become one of the most diverse cities on the continent as waves of migrants from elsewhere in Europe, North Africa and Turkey have come to work in the shipping industry, concentrated here thanks to the cityâs location on the deltas of the Rhine and Maas rivers. With its sweeping harbor and massive Europoort, the city has quickly grown to become the largest port in all of Europe.
Nijmegen, situated at the left bank of the Waal, the southern arm of the Rhine is one of the two gateways of the Netherlands on the Lower Rhine. Nijmegen once was a Roman settlement. In the Carolingian period it was an imperial residence, and later became a free imperial city and Hanseatic Town. In 1579 it joined the Union of Utrecht. The towns prosperity began only with the development of industry in the latter part of the 19th century. Highlights of the old town are the Grote Markt and the St Sevenskerk (13th to 15th century), the town hall.
