Duration: 5 Days
Want to hit up two of Europe's coolest cities without flying? Join this scenic train trip starting in Amsterdam and making your way to Berlin by rail. With 2 nights each in both cities, there's plenty of time for canal cruises, street food extravaganzas, dining in the homes of locals, taking in the Berlin Wall and the city's iconic street art & still having free time to fill up on coffee, craft beer, poffertjes & schnitzels. Day 1
Start Amsterdam
Your European train adventure begin here. Starting in Amsterdam, we'll immediately fall in love with the cute gable houses, canals, neo-Gothic architecture and friendly locals. This evening we'll head to Foodhallen, with its eclectic bars, live music and art exhibitions and sample some of the best food in Europe.
Day 2
Amsterdam
Rise and shine! First up, we’ll take to the canals for a truly unique boat tour. We’ll see Amsterdam through the eyes of refugees – hearing their stories as we gawk at the splendid views, you’re guaranteed to step off the boat with a whole new perspective on life. The rest of the day is all about exploration – from Anne Frank's museum to the Heineken Factory. This evening, opt to get an exclusive entry pass to the A'Dam Tower and Swing, skipping the queues to enjoy epic views over the sprawling city below. Afterwards the night is yours to explore this vibrant city and experience its legendary nightlife.
Day 3
Amsterdam to Berlin
You've been a blast, Amsterdam, but today we're making tracks for our next adventure.
Hello Berlin! We'll waste no time in checking out the cutting-edge culinary scene, both vegan and carnivorous! After that, the evening is yours to explore the city's world-famous nightlife. The buzzing scene here is a joyous tribute to German reunification, and since the fall of the Berlin Wall the city has staked its claim as the techno capital of the world.
Day 4
Berlin
2 walking tours today. This morning, we'll enjoy an exclusive MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience with Refugee Voices, learning from young refugees on a fascinating walking tour that draws parallels between Germany's turbulent past and the present situation in many countries across the world today. This evening, you’ll have the chance to explore Berlin's oh-so-historical (and oh-so-hipster) Kreuzberg district… followed by an included dinner.
Day 5
End Berlin
Berlin you've been a blast, but this morning we're saying farewell to our Contiki family and our European adventure. We'll stay in touch, and we'll no doubt be back soon enough.
