International Sport&Leisure

The Netherlands is the No.1 destination for touring soccer teams. There are many reasons for this including the excellent football facilities, the friendly English speaking hosts and the wide choice of accommodation, tournament and sightseeing possibilities.

AMSTERDAM
Amsterdam is a fascinating and cosmopolitan city and has long been a favourite destination for our adult teams. Bars open for just about 24 hours a day, a 'coffee' shop culture, and a permissive sex industry may have something to do with this. For nightlife the red light district is a popular attraction, but the Rembrantsplein and
Leidseplein also offer Amsterdam nightlife at its best. Both squares have a myriad of bars, restaurants and nightclubs and the atmosphere on a weekend evening has to be experienced to be believed.

Amsterdam by day is equally fascinating. Tourist images of beautiful canals and buildings, world class museums and excellent shopping facilities become a reality. Sitting in a pavement cafe is a relaxing way of seeing Amsterdammers at work and play. If you are feeling more energetic you can hire pedaloes on the canals.
