Held in the Dutch town of Almere, the world-famous floral spectacle that is the Floriade Expo will have the important theme of ‘growing green cities’ next year, as guests will be treated to the sights and smells of some 3,000 trees, shrubs, perennials, creepers, hydrophyte­s and flower bulbs at this truly unique exhibition.

This rail holiday will also take you to Holland’s most beautiful Zaanse Schans, with its windmills and iconic green wooden houses and artisan workshops; Volendam, where you will enjoy a special cheese tasting and wander along the lovely harbour lined with seafood vendors and old fishing boats; and Marken, set on the wonderful Markermeer Lake.

You will stay in Amsterdam and enjoy a full day exploring the delights, sights and sounds of the capital city, including a cruise through the city’s canals as well as a special farewell dinner.
