Then, after our nonstop flight on SunExpress Airlines, we arrive at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. After completing the procedures at the airport, we head to the city center of Amsterdam. Upon our arrival in the city, we begin touring the capital. After our Amsterdam city tour, during which we will see the Stock Exchange Building, Dam Square, the famous Red Light District, the Royal Palace, and the Wax Museum – Madame Tussauds, we take a lunch and shopping break in the city center, and then meet again at the time specified by our guide and transfer to our hotel, where we will stay for 2 nights. Accommodation in Amsterdam. ### Zaanse Schans – Volendam – Marken – Amsterdam Canal Tour – New Year’s Celebration After breakfast at our hotel in Amsterdam, we head to Zaanse Schans, a town located 20 minutes from the capital, where we can observe canals, historic houses, windmills, and the traditional Dutch way of life, and which, with its workshops, resembles an open-air museum. In this town, we see and photograph the windmill that has been established from the past to the present for grinding earth and minerals used in traditional paint production, and listen to our guide’s explanations. After completing our visit here, where you can photograph classic Dutch landscapes, and spending our free time, we move on to Volendam, another beautiful town famous for fishing and clog making in the Netherlands. Upon arrival, we take a break for those who wish to see the charming souvenir shops, take photos, shop, and enjoy coffee. At the end of our free time, we head to Marken, a quaint town built over the sea with its distinctive houses and streets, later turned into a peninsula by the addition of a road connection. After our enjoyable time in this town reflecting the typical Dutch rural village life, we return to the capital center and proceed to the port to take our Canal Tour (included in the price), which has been reserved for us. We take our tour in the Amsterdam canals area, called the “Venice of the North,” where we can observe all the beauty of the city from the canals. While we cruise by boat along this centuries-old canal, which has earned a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, you will have the opportunity to take wonderful photos. On our canal tour, where we will see the Westerkerk Protestant Calvinist Church on the same street as the Anne Frank House, the Central Railway Station, and the historic buildings of the city while observing the local lifestyle, we return to our hotel before making preparations to join the New Year celebrations in the city center. At the time determined by our guide, we take our seats on our vehicle that will take you to the city center and join the festivities where we will welcome the new year with pleasure. When the clock strikes midnight, we welcome 2027 in Amsterdam. After a New Year’s Eve where you can enjoy yourself as much as you wish and spend time with your loved ones at the restaurants and bars in the center, we meet our guide at the predetermined time and place and return to our hotel by the vehicle that will take us there. Guests who do not wish to return with our vehicle may continue the celebrations on their own and return to the hotel on their own at a time of their choosing. ### Amsterdam – Münster – Cologne After having our first breakfast of 2027 at our hotel in Amsterdam, we check out of our rooms and continue our journey to Münster, a city located quite close to the Dutch border and regarded as one of the important cultural cities of Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia state. Known for its historical texture stretching from the Middle Ages to the present day, its bicycle culture, and its magnificent cathedrals, this city is also known as one of the places where the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, which holds an important place in European history, was signed. With this agreement, the Thirty Years’ War, which had continued in Europe for many years, came to an end, and a new era began in modern diplomatic history. Upon arrival in the city, we begin our tour with Prinzipalmarkt Street, considered the heart of Münster and home to some of the finest examples of medieval architecture. With its arcaded passages, historic merchant houses with triangular gables, and elegant facades, this street offers a picture-postcard view and has been the city’s commercial center for centuries. As we continue our tour, we see St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of the city’s most important religious buildings. Built in the 13th century, this impressive structure combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural features. One of the cathedral’s most remarkable sections is its medieval astronomical clock. This clock has a highly complex mechanism that shows not only the time, but also the movements of the sun and moon. As we continue walking around the square and streets surrounding the cathedral, we will also notice that Münster is one of Germany’s most important university cities. With its large young population, extensive bike lanes, and lively atmosphere, the city has the feel of a modern European university town. Münster is also known as Germany’s “bicycle capital”; seeing more bicycles than cars in the city is quite ordinary. After our tour in the city center, we will have a photo break and free time at Prinzipalmarkt and the surrounding squares. Those who wish may spend time in historic cafés or explore Münster’s unique calm atmosphere. After the free time, we meet again on our vehicle and continue our journey to Cologne, one of Germany’s most important cultural and commercial centers. This historic city on the banks of the Rhine River is one of the most visited cities in Germany, with a history dating back to Roman times, its impressive cathedral, and vibrant city life. Upon arriving in Cologne in the early evening, we begin to get acquainted with the city during our city tour, where we see Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), considered one of the most important works of Gothic architecture in Europe and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction of this magnificent structure began in 1248 and took approximately 600 years to complete; with its towers rising over 157 meters, it is considered one of the tallest cathedrals in Germany. After a brief photo stop around the cathedral, we continue our tour by seeing the walking paths along the Rhine River, historic bridges, and the city’s lively squares. Following the tour, we give our guests free time for dinner in Cologne’s vibrant city center, where there are numerous restaurants and cafés. Those who wish may take a walk along the banks of the Rhine River or sample the flavors of German cuisine at local restaurants. After the free time, we meet at the designated time and proceed to our hotel in Cologne. Accommodation in Cologne. ### Cologne – Outlet Tour – Izmir After breakfast at our hotel in Cologne, we head to Roermond Designer Outlet, located very close to the border between Germany and the Netherlands and considered one of Europe’s largest shopping outlet centers. At this shopping village, where you can find stores of hundreds of world-famous brands all in one place, we give our guests free time for shopping. After enjoying some pleasant and enjoyable time here, we meet for our transfer to Düsseldorf Airport and take our seats on the Sun Express Airlines flight that will take us to Adnan Menderes Airport, returning to Izmir.
