Amsterdam Express

Plan your adventure in Amsterdam early and save $20 per person with our new Early Bird Discount on Day Trips!

#

Kaiserslautern Outdoor Recreation and Baumholder Outdoor Recreation have teamed up to make it even easier for you to visit the “the Venice of the North”!  The same adventures begin at your choice of either Smith or Pulaski Barracks, and an early bird discount makes your day in Amsterdam cheaper too.

There are many European cities which consider themselves "The Venice of the North".  Amsterdam joins Bruges, Copenhagen and Stockholm in staking a claim to this title.  With no set schedule or tour guide to follow, your adventure in Amsterdam will be whatever you want it to be. You can take a tour of the Heineken Brewery, explore the notorious Red Light District, take a boat ride on the Grand Canal, see the historic Anne Frank House with a pre-purchased ticket or view world famous artwork in the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, or a satellite location of the Hermitage Museum

Whether you board the bus in Kaiserslautern or Baumholder, you will enjoy your day in Amsterdam when your adventure begins at Army Outdoor Recreation!
