Itinerary

Germany

Düsseldorf

The Rhineland way of life, blending tradition and modernity—Düsseldorf captivates with its diversity! Art and culture lovers are just as enthralled here as shopping enthusiasts; the Media Harbor impresses with its contemporary architecture, as does the historic Old Town. With more than 250 cozy pubs, the Old Town makes Düsseldorf the “longest bar in the world.” And it’s not just the traditional Altbier that tastes great there! Don’t miss a stroll down Königsallee, the world-famous shopping boulevard—or perhaps you’d prefer a visit to one of the many charming flea markets? And right in the middle of it all: plenty of green space and the Rhine with its riverside promenade, perfect for taking a deep breath. No wonder the VIVA family feels right at home here!

Netherlands

Nijmegen

The oldest city in the Netherlands exudes traditional Dutch charm with its gabled cottages, small cheese shops, and delicacies on the “Grote Markt.” In the narrow alleys, the past and present go hand in hand. That’s why a visit to the Gothic St. Stevenskerk, including its crypt, as well as a stroll down the shopping street “Lange Hezelstraat,” should be on your sightseeing itinerary. Afterward, there’s no better way to take a break than with some freshly fried kibbelingen in Kronenburgerpark during the winter months.

Netherlands

Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of those cities that every traveler should visit at least once in their lifetime. It’s no wonder that millions upon millions of tourists flock to the city of canals every year to enjoy its abundance of sights and cultural offerings. The best way to discover Amsterdam is on a boat tour along the canals or a stroll along these unique waterways. Art lovers will be immediately drawn to one of the world-famous museums, such as the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, or the Van Gogh Museum. Partygoers will find their happy place in the nightlife and red-light district of De Wallen. And beer lovers should definitely not miss the Heineken Experience.

Netherlands

Harlingen

Harlingen in the Netherlands is a port city on the Dutch Wadden Sea. The city is home to the only seaport in the province of Friesland. The old town is clustered around the old harbor, which consists of a bay that cuts deep into the land. The canals typical of Holland extend from there into the city. The numerous old houses exude the quaint atmosphere of an old trading and fishing town. Many of the houses lining the waterfront feature the typical brick facades with stepped gables. The Baroque town hall, built in 1730, still retains a tower from its 16th-century predecessor; the Grote Kerk (Great Church) was built between 1772 and 1775. However, it is not so much these individual buildings that define Harlingen’s special atmosphere, but rather the overall ensemble of the harbor basin with its historic houses and the sailboats moored in front of them. The museum in the Hannemahuis features a fascinating exhibition on Harlingen’s fishing history.

Netherlands

Oudeschild

Oudeschild is a small, idyllic village on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands. It is located in the province of Friesland and is only about 15 kilometers from the German border. The village is very popular with vacationers who enjoy spending time by the sea and in nature. The municipality of Oudeschild has about 1,500 residents, making it the largest municipality on Texel. It is located in the southwestern part of the island and offers visitors a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Nevertheless, there is plenty to see and do here. One of the highlights in Oudeschild is Ecomare, a center for environmental education and marine research. Here, you can learn more about the flora and fauna of the North Sea and also take the opportunity to see rare animals like seals and harbor seals up close. The “De Schiereilanden” nature reserve is also worth a visit. It encompasses several small islands off the coast of Oudeschild and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. In the spring, you can even spot imperial eagles here.
