Floriade is held once every 10 years, so if you're keen on horticultural events, it seems a shame not to attend, especially as you will be in Amsterdam. Kind regards, Helen Gwen,

As you can see from the above post, there will be daily express bus services from Amsterdam to Venlo. If you are going to be based in Amsterdam, you could do a day trip to Venlo, using the express bus service, or you could catch the train from Amsterdam and alight at Venlo station and then take a shuttle bus to the Floriade grounds. Following is link for the train network : http://www.ns.nl/. 2. As for going to Keukenhof, you may wish to consider doing one of the tours below. I don't know when you're travelling, but note that these are springtime only tours. http://www.partner.viator.com/en/2494/tours/Amsterdam/Amsterdam-Super-Saver-1-Keukenhof-Gardens-Day-Trip-and-Amsterdam-City-Tour/d525-2550TULIP http://www.partner.viator.com/en/2494/tours/Amsterdam/Keukenhof-Gardens-and-Tulip-Fields-Tour-from-Amsterdam/d525-2550LIN12A 3. If you don't know Amsterdam at all, have a look at the popular tours that are offered by our affiliate partner Viator. I'm sure there are lots of ideas for things that you and your friends may be interested in. http://www.partner.viator.com/en/2494/tours/Amsterdam/I-amsterdam-Card-City-Pass-for-Amsterdam/d525-2464AMSCARD Things like I Amsterdam Card and Amsterdam Canal Bus Hop-on Hop-off are good value as they allow you to see a lot of the Amsterdam sites. You can also do tours to historic villages like Alkmaar to see their cheese market, or go on day trips to Ghent and Bruges, two beautiful historic towns in Belgium, I hope the above gives you some ideas of things to do in Amsterdam.
