Start this fun-filled day at the pick-up point in Amsterdam, where you'll board an air-conditioned single-decker bus to Floriade Expo 2022. After a 40-min drive, you'll arrive at the park for the event that will only take place 10 years after 2022. The park has much to explore, but there's no reason to get overwhelmed! Your ticket includes an orientation tour of the park by an expert guide who will give you little-known details about the attractions at the Expo. Once your tour is over, you get ample time to explore the park at your own pace. Also, don't forget to ride the 8-min cable ride to get a unique perspective of the flourishing Expo grounds brimming with sustainable horticulture solutions.

Floriade Expo Guided Tour + Zaanse Schans

Top off the art, sumptuous locally-sourced food, and live music at the futuristic world of Floriade Expo with a visit to the historic village of Zaanse Schans! Your guide will give you tidbits about the village that was once an industrial area during the golden age. Here, you'll find hundreds of windmills, out of which 8 are still active. Admire the beauty of a bygone architectural era through the green-colored houses in the village. Don't be surprised if you see people still living in these stunning historic houses! Learn the ins and outs of a wooden factory at the clog museum. You're in for a treat during your visit to the cheese farm - get to sample 25 types of Gouda cheese. You'll get some free time to explore the village by yourself, after which you'll head back to Amsterdam.

Floriade Expo Guided Tour + Zaanse Schans + Canal Cruise

After an action-packed day, you can upgrade your ticket to end the evening by lounging on a serene canal cruise in Amsterdam as the sky changes colors. You'll sail past popular landmarks of the city like the Golden Age, the Westerkerk, and the Anne Frank House. This is the most relaxing way to sightsee Amsterdam - an experience you shouldn't miss!

Floriade Expo 2022 aims to answer the question: what does a greener future look like? You'll find presentations about horticulture diving deep into the focal theme "Growing Green Cities" by 35 participating countries. Want to know more about the attractions at the park beforehand?
