The city has kilometres of attractive canals, some truly great art collections, stunning architecture and fascinating museums. The historical centre was largely built during the Golden Age in the 17th century. when Amsterdam was one of the wealthiest cities in the world, with trade links to the Baltic, North America, Africa, Indonesia and Brazil. Its stock exchange was the first to trade continuously. The Van Gogh Museum houses the largest collection of the artist’s work in the world and Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht is well worth a visit. The city is also known for its nightlife, with its bustling cafes, restaurants, clubs, traditional “brown” bars, cinemas and theatres. Many visitors go for the infamous red-light district, with its legalized prostitution, strip joints and sex shops.

Keukenhof also known as the Garden of Europe is one of the world’s largest flower gardens, situated in Lisse, South Holland, Netherlands.

Breakfast at Hotel.

Enjoy a scenic drive to the Rhine Falls, Europe’s biggest waterfall. To stand high above Europe’s largest waterfall, feeling the roar and vibration of the water over one’s entire body – this can be experienced at the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen.

By ship one can reach castles, the Rhine Falls Basin and even the mighty rock in the midst of the waterfall. Due to tectonic shifts in the Ice Age, the Rhine River was forced into a new riverbed over 15,000 years ago. The Rhine Falls came into being at the transition point where hard chalk turned into soft gravel. Over a breadth of 150 meters, several hundred cubic meters of water rush into the depths at the rate of 23 meters per second. In the middle of it all stands a mighty rock that has withstood the elements for a thousand years. The rock can be reached on a circular tour of the Rhine Falls, during which one can observe the natural spectacle from up close. Virtually in the middle of the waterfall, visitors stand on platforms that jut out and partially hover over the Rhine.

After admiring the beauty of Rhine Falls, we head towards Lucerne. Switzerland may be best known for the incredible mountain ranges of the Alps, but another destination which few people will miss if they can help it, is the city of Lucerne. Sitting just north of the Alps by lovely Lake Lucerne, this picturesque city easily wins visitors over. Take one look at the sights along the Reuss River with the mountains as a backdrop, and it’s not hard to understand why Lucerne is considered one of the best places to visit in Europe. Commence on a 2 hour sightseeing tour of Lucerne with guide and thereafter have dinner at an Indian Restaurant and proceed to Engelberg for overnight.

Chapel Bridge – The most iconic sight of Lucerne, the Chapel Bridge is a must for any visitor to the city. A fixture of the city’s waterfront scenery, chances are that if you’ve looked at a photo of Lucerne it had this bridge in it. Dating from the 14th century, the Lucerne Chapel Bridge is the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe. While incredibly pretty when viewed from elsewhere along the Reuss River, it’s only once you step onto the bridge that you learn its true value. As you walk down the wooden planks and past the window boxes blooming with flowers, take a moment to look up. Within triangle frames up by the roof, this bridge is lined with artwork from the 17th century which tells stories from Lucerne’s past. Sadly, a fire in 1993 destroyed all but 30 of these paintings, making what remains even more special.

Jesuit Church – A short walk back along the riverfront will bring you to another eye-catching landmark of Lucerne, the city’s Jesuit Church. Built in a series of phases from the 16th to 19th centuries, it’s hard not to notice this church by the Reuss River, especially with its onion- shaped towers. The real highlight of this church though is evident once you step inside to see its delicate and ornate interior. The Jesuit Church was founded in Lucerne to help keep Swiss Catholics from converting to Protestantism, making this church an important player in that troublesome time.

Spreuer Bridge – Lucerne actually once had three bridges like the Chapel Bridge with paintings that lined their interior. While one no longer exists, the other is the Spreuer Bridge. Generally overshadowed by the Chapel Bridge, this 16th century construction is still worth walking across. The paintings along the Spreuer Bridge are quite fascinating as they feature skeletons in various scenes in an artistic style known as the Danse Macabre. They’re meant to remind people that death is inevitable, rather a cheerful way to decorate a bridge!

Lion Monument – Leaving the Old Town behind, it’s time to walk up the gentle slope into the modern part of Lucerne in search of its iconic Lion Monument. A truly moving memorial, this monument features a carved relief of a dying lion above a still pond. Created in 1821, this gorgeous monument commemorates the Swiss Guards who were killed on duty during the French Revolution of 1792. It’s a touching tribute to the fallen soldiers and one sight not to miss in Lucerne.

It is one of only two double-landlocked countries in the world (the other being Uzbekistan) since it’s surrounded entirely by two other landlocked countries – Switzerland and Austria. The territory that constitutes modern Liechtenstein was bought by the Liechtenstein dynasty, a noble family from Austria, in 1699 and 1712, and elevated to a principality in 1719.

In 1806, Liechtenstein became a sovereign country, but it was not until 1818 that a member of the princely family first visited the territory. And only in 1938 the family actually moved to Vaduz, Liechtenstein, making Vaduz Castle its official residence. Nowadays, and despite its small size, Liechtenstein is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with its citizens enjoying one of the highest living standards on the planet.
