Rhine City Experiences - Family Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Cologne
Cologne (Köln) is one of the largest cities
in Germany, and a bustling hub of media and business on the Rhine.
The dramatic Kölner Dom can be seen from miles away, and a number
of other beautiful Gothic and Romanesque churches are dotted around
the city. There are also museums dedicated to Roman history, modern
and religious art, ethnology, sports and even chocolate.
There are two lovely, massive green lungs
in the city containing a number of parks, recreational areas and
beer gardens. In warm weather, there's a fun outdoor culture in
Cologne and thousands of people gather in these areas for picnics,
sports and socialising. The two pedestrian strips of Hohe Strasse
and Schildergasse offer great shops, cafes and street music.
Cologne is well known for its Veedel or
traditional neighbourhoods. One of the most interesting districts
for tourists is the bohemian Agnesviertel neighbourhood where
visitors can find local fashion designers, bookshops, bars and art
galleries.
Cologne has a vibrant and colourful
cultural life, with tourists sampling locally-brewed Kölsch beer
and other gastronomic specialties. The city is also known as the
gay capital of Germany with a large pride event held every year.
The local inhabitants are known to be friendly, sociable and
liberal, making Cologne one of the best German cities in which to
meet new people and make new friends.
Day 2
Rotterdam
Unlike many historic cities in the Netherlands, which sport
Gothic churches and Renaissance buildings, Rotterdam is a gleaming
cluster of high-rises. Indeed, some of them are marvels of
20th-century architecture. Public parks, spacious streets and slick
shopping malls dot this efficiently designed city, making it the
perfect destination for travellers who lean more towards the modern
than the classical.
Many parts of the city were bombed in World War II. In fact,
only three buildings in Rotterdam's historic centre survived the
onslaught, namely, the art deco City Hall, the iconic White House,
and St Lawrence Church. The Delft Harbour area also escaped
destruction. Extensive rebuilding has given the city a unique
personality when compared to the rest of the country. Travellers
should view it from the iconic Euromast Space Tower, which has a
revolving sit-down elevator.
Rotterdam hasn't forgotten its roots, though, despite its modern
look and feel. Its museums cover art, World War II, architecture,
photography, maritime history, natural history, and the
Netherlands' rail system. Rotterdam is also a multicultural city,
with larger immigrant populations than most of the Netherlands.
That said, the city is roughly 16 miles (26km) away from a
prominent cluster of windmills, which are an enduring symbol of the
Netherlands. Located in the small town of Kinderdijk, these
structures are fully functioning and drain water from the
Alblasserwaard polder. They're also a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
and one of the most popular attractions in the region.
Day 4
Utrecht
Known for its tulips, windmills and bicycles, the Netherlands stretches out over a predominantly flat landscape. Sleepy rural towns and sophisticated cities lie within its expansive vistas, broken here and there by dikes, walls, canals and castles. The country is also home to one of Europe's most densely populated regions, which is located in an urban hub called Randstad. The area radiates in a circle from Amsterdam and includes The Hague, Utrecht, and Rotterdam, as well as the smaller towns of Delft, Haarlem and Leiden. Visitors will find vibrant art scenes, cultural activities, seasonal festivals and excellent pubs and restaurants in these destinations.
Historically speaking, the country's global influence stretches back centuries. That is, the Dutch East India Company established trading links with the East and West Indies in the 1600s, bringing a wealth of merchandise and cultural influences back to Europe. The Netherlands' Golden Age reached its zenith in the artworks of its master painters, namely, Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Johannes Vermeer. Today, their paintings hang from the walls of the country's many world-class museums and galleries.
Tourists generally visit the Netherlands to experience its capital city, Amsterdam, though nature lovers may enjoy the south's undulating landscapes of heath moors and shifting sands. They're best explored within the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The historical city of Maastricht is tucked between the Belgian and German borders, and is definitely worth seeing.
Regarding global conflicts, the Netherlands has largely taken a neutral stance since the collapse of Napoleon's empire in 1814. That said, it suffered severely in World War II, when the Nazis invaded. Its neutral position and tradition of tolerance and liberalism would make it the logical location for the International Court of Justice, which is situated in The Hague.

Cologne (Köln) is one of the largest cities
in Germany, and a bustling hub of media and business on the Rhine.
The dramatic Kölner Dom can be seen from miles away, and a number
