16 Days Europe Vacation Package Day 10 Heidelberg - Cologne - Amsterdam


16 Days Europe Tour – White Christmas Day 10  Heidelberg – Cologne – Amsterdam

NH Weinheim Hotel Germany

After breakfast, we checked out of NH Weinheim Hotel, Germany in Heidelberg and proceeded to check out some tourist attractions in Cologne.  Cologne is dominated by its magnificent cathedral, 600 years in the making.

Holiday Travel Tips:-
Do be extra careful if there’s snow on the ground as we saw a man slip and fall exactly in front of the Cologne Cathedral as he was making his way to pose with the angels (below) and he was in such pain that an ambulance had to be summoned.

Lunch was in Cologne where we had a quick lunch at McDonalds, after which we spent some time shopping for souvenirs where we just had to purchase the 4711 Eau de Cologne.

After leaving Cologne, we made our way to Amsterdam where we managed to visit one of the tourist attractions in Amsterdam whilst we were walking to our dinner venue.

We then enjoyed an interesting dinner at Amsterdam Pancake House, the Pancake Bakery.

Radisson Blu Amsterdam Airport's 279 rooms provide luxury amenities and what we love about it is the free high-speed Internet access across the hotel.  There are also facilities for disabled guests as well as non-allergenic options.

What we liked about this hotel is that they believe in giving back to society.
