Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Welcome to Amsterdam !


Amsterdam is the capital of The Netherlands. This city is not big, but there is a lot to do and see. There are many museums in the city: Madame Tussauds Museum, Rijksmuseum, Heineken Experience, Anna Frank House. 
Amsterdam canals are charming and what a pleasure to have a cup of coffee outside a cafe by a canal on a sunny day.
There are plenty of people riding bycicles of all kinds. You can see a mother riding a bycicle with three children sitting in a special basket. 
Of course, we recommend you to enjoy a walk through Vondelpark and enjoy a picnic there.
You can take a boat tour along canals of Amsterdam. NEMO Science Museum will be interesting for your children. Also you can enjoy great views from the top of the museum. There are comfortable benches on the roof and you can enjoy beautiful views of Amsterdam for a while.

Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark.

Welcome to Frederiksborg Castle !


Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century. The Castle replaced an older castle acquired by Frederick II and became the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Frederiksborg Castle is situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake) and has a large formal garden in the Baroque style.
Frederiksborg Castle is the first Danish castle which was built inland. All previous castles had built on the coast or close to ports and the sea. It was also a first castle built for purely recreational purposes and not for defence.
