The village of Giethoorn in Holland has a truly remarkable feature – they don’t move by car or bus, there are almost no roads in the village – only canals. Therefore, the main transports are boats, and thanks to that, the second name of the village is the “Dutch Venice”.

This place will immerse you in a state of peace and pleasant relaxation.

(EN) Free day (at extra charge-a visit to Van Gogh Museum)

Van Gogh Museum opened in 1973 possesses the largest collection of Van Gogh’s works in the world. The paintings are placed in chronological order, which helps you feel the artist’s personal development. Despite the fact that Van Gogh started drawing at a rather late age, he managed to leave behind more than 800 canvases and 1200 sketches quite many of which rightfully deserve being called masterpieces. Six months after the death of Vincent Van Gogh his beloved brother and the best friend Theo Van Gogh dies at 33 years old. According to the observations of doctors, he died of stress and acute grief, leaving his wife Joanna not only to inherit a newborn son, but also a large number of Vincent's canvases and letters to her late husband, Theo. It was thanks to these letters that the woman was able to study Vincent's creativity and get to know her husband more closely (more than 700 letters survived and are kept in the Van Gogh Museum). It is to her that we owe the opportunity to enjoy the work of a great artist.

(EN) Day 7 Friday

(EN) Cheese auction in Alkmaar, airport transfer

Excursion to the cheese market in Alkmaar is obligatory for all lovers of this delicacy! The city of Alkmaar in the north of Holland is known for its developed cheese production and annual cheese fairs.
They begin on every second Friday of April and last until the second Friday of September. The fair in Alkmaar begins with the traditional cheese weighing ritual. The market opens with the bell tower’s ringing, called in by a specially invited important guest or a well-known person. A fascinating presentation begins with the selection of a young princess of cheese. In the town square, a noisy orchestra plays and the crowd greets with the applause of the mayor of the city and his subjects. This commission chooses Cheese Princess, and then solemnly congratulates the happy winner. Soon after choosing a princess, the Dutch go on to the main action: the cheese trade. First, huge cheese heads are carried to the square and laid out in even rows. It is noteworthy that the cheese in red packaging is imported, while the yellow packaging indicates a sale within the country. Eyes run up from the cheese assortment, and most importantly, visitors to the fair can taste and buy the varieties of cheese they like.
