| | Travels with Duct Tape: Let Your Vacation Bloom in Amsterdam! |
 | | Begun as a tiny fishing village about 1200 AD, Amsterdam has grown into the capital of the Netherlands, the country that is still, today, called “ Holland” by many tourists unfamiliar with the fact that Holland is actually a geographical area within the Netherlands. |
 | | With Amsterdam being a city of canals, travel to a wide range of sights couldn’t be easier – see the Rijksmuseum, an extravaganza of arts such as the famous Netherlands dollhouses, Delftware, and even an interactive exhibition of masterpieces by some of the greatest 17th century masters: Hals, Steen, Vermeer, and Rembrandt. |
 | | With the Canal Pass covering three different routes, you can climb off at any of the 14 stops, stay as long as you like, and then climb back on for a peaceful canal run to the next attraction of your choice. |
