The capital of The Netherlands, Amsterdam is a world famous city located in the province of North Holland. A daily ferry service to Newcastle is operated by DFDS Seaways, with an average sailing time of approximately 16 hours, which is one of the most popular routes in the North Sea.
Amsterdam’s main attractions include the historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank’s house. In addition, the city has many parks and open spaces including Vondelpark, the largest in the city. It’s found within the Oud-Zuid zone and named after the 17th century local author Joost van den Vondel. The park attracts around 10 million visitors each year.
The city's famous canals run for more than 100 kilometres; the three main largest are Prinsengracht, Herengracht and Keizersgracht, all of which are navigable by boat. Amsterdam is also often nicknamed the "Venice of the North," owing to its division into approximately 90 islands, which are linked by more than 1,200 bridges.
The English city of Newcastle is located in the north east of England, with one of the largest seaports in the country. DFDS Seaways operates daily ferry routes between the Port of Newcastle and Amsterdam, usually lasting around 15 hours which varies from season to season.
This vibrant city is full of history, with its centre containing more listed classical buildings than any other city in the UK, and has many interesting things to see and do including the elegant streets of Grainger Town, through to the modern Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The iconic bridge is a popular attraction owing to its unique architecture and tilting mechanism, while in contrast there is Whitley Bay: a popular seaside resort with a golden sandy beach and seafront promenade.
For lovers of history, Hadrian's Wall was built by the Romans in 110 AD which lies not too far away, but heading back to the city, there is the Gateshead Music Centre, which was recently redeveloped at a cost of more than £50 million.
