5. Full-day Bruges trip from Amsterdam (from USD 87.0)
Being almost in the centre of the region previously known as the “Low Countries”, Amsterdam provides a chance to have a short day trip to interesting destinations nearby, such as the city of Bruges in Belgium, only three to three and half hours by bus from the centre of Amsterdam. After the drive alongside the beautiful Dutch countryside, there is a five-hour free time in the city to visit the Heilig-Bloedbasiliek and to appreciate the city’s famous architecture, while hanging around in Markt and Burg squares. And since Bruges is also called by some as the “Venice of the north”, on your way back, you’ll have the opportunity to compare.

Duration: 11 hours 30 minutes
6. Zaanse Schans windmills, Marken and Volendam half-day trip from Amsterdam (from USD 41.0)
Like the tulips, the windmills are also combined with a traveller’s perception of the Netherlands. Without needing to rent a car, and at the same time having an audio commentary about the Dutch history, the selected tour is a rare combination of three picturesque countryside destinations of North Holland, Zaanse Schans, Marken and Volendam. You can explore a historic windmill in Zaanse Schans and then visit the other two villages (during summer you can also take the ferry from Marken to Volendam), where you can watch how the traditional clogs are being manufactured and also visit a local dairy and the small port with the fishing boats.

7. Visit the Icebar and go on a one-hour canal cruise (from USD 40.0)
Seems like the coolest sightseeing option. Just after joining this one-hour canal cruise you are offered a welcome drink and shortly afterwards, you are entitled to two Smirnoff cocktails of Heineken beers in your own glass made of ice! But the really exciting part is that when you arrive, you are provided with a thermal poncho since the whole bar is working in -10 degrees Celsius and everything inside (and not only your glass), including furniture and walls are made of ice. Surely a literal meaning to a cool night out!
