The Netherlands
The Netherlands program highlights and sights:
-
Play games vs. local Dutch teams
-
Sightseeing in Amsterdam including the Anne Frank House, van Gogh museum and Amsterdam canals
-
Visit other major Dutch cities like Eindhoven and The Hague
Simply put, there is no place like the Netherlands. However, continuing on tour without staying a while is a big mistake. The small, friendly country of Holland is known for its tulips, windmills and great painters such as Rembrandt and van Gogh.
The Dutch national basketball team represents the Netherlands in international competitions and is administrated by the Netherlands Basketball Federation. The team reached the final four once and proceeded to the playoffs several times. Rik Smits, Francisco Elson and Dan Gadzuric are Dutch nationals that played in the NBA.
Amsterdam has something for everyone: Van Gogh and Rembrandt museums, unique merchant-house architecture, the Anne Frank House, historic canals crossed by 1,000 bridges, and flowers and diamonds. You can walk everywhere with ease, and nowhere in the world will you find friendlier or prouder people. Volendam and Zaanse Schans, north of Amsterdam, provide a look at the Holland of a few centuries ago, including (of course!) windmills and traditional wooden shoes. South of Amsterdam lays Leiden, dating from Roman times, and Delft, where 300 artists paint porcelain the traditional way.
