The adventure begins on Friday evening in Paris, with departure from Porte Maillot. We all board the bus together, bound for Amsterdam. The atmosphere is relaxed: some chat, others put on their headphones or sleep a little to recuperate before the weekend. It's time to get to know the other participants, share the first anecdotes and prepare ourselves mentally to discover one of Europe's most emblematic cities.
Arrive in Amsterdam in the middle of the night for check-in. You'll then be able to settle in, put your things down and get some sleep before setting off to explore the city.
After a little rest at the hostel, you're free to spend the day at your own pace. If you'd like to take advantage of organized activities, we suggest several options: a walking city tour with an Erasmus Place guide to discover the historic corners of the city, a boat trip on the canals (perfect for photos), or a visit to the typical and colorful flower market.
But you can also go off on your own or with friends to wander the alleys, visit the Van Gogh Museum, enter Anne Frank's house, or simply sit on a terrace and observe the local life. Amsterdam is an open, lively city, where every neighborhood has its own atmosphere.
In the evening, we all get together to go out. Bars, clubs, international ambience... Amsterdam's nightlife is famous for a reason. It's often one of the best memories of the weekend.
On Sunday morning, you still have a little free time to enjoy downtown one last time. This is the time to see what you didn't have time to do the day before: a leisurely stroll through the red light district, a last coffee, a trip to the thrift shops, or to buy the last few souvenirs.
At the end of the afternoon, we get back on the bus to head for Paris. The return journey is calmer, with everyone resting, sharing photos and exchanging contacts. The weekend is over, but the memories remain.
And as they say... what happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam.

Unforgettable destinations!
A dynamic, open city full of contrasts. With its canal landscapes, world-famous museums, relaxed atmosphere and lively nightlife, it's the perfect mix for a festive, cultural weekend.
Did you know?
Amsterdam has more bridges than Venice: almost 1,500 span its historic canals.
The city's most famous district, with its shop windows, coffee shops and underground atmosphere. It's also one of Amsterdam's oldest neighborhoods, with cobblestone streets, canals and a real neighborhood feel.
Did you know?
This neighborhood, often reduced to its sultry reputation, is also home to churches, art galleries, cool bars... and even a cannabis museum. Yes, everything coexists in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam is famous for its coffee shops, which don't just serve coffee. If you're curious, you'll find they're everywhere. But each one has its own rules, atmosphere and "menu".
Did you know?
It's forbidden to smoke tobacco in coffee shops... but smoking anything else is legal as long as you stay within the legal limits. A 100% Dutch paradox.
You can easily switch from partying to culture. The Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House are among the most visited in Europe.
Did you know?
The Anne Frank House is so popular that it is often fully booked several days in advance. If you want to go, make sure you book early!

Our charters
At Erasmus Place, the journey begins as soon as you get on the bus. It's a friendly atmosphere, where people get to know each other, have a laugh and share music and tips.
Our buses are comfortable, air-conditioned and equipped with toilets, barring major exceptions. We want you to feel at ease, even during several hours of driving. To make sure everything goes smoothly, we also have a few simple rules: respect for everyone, no inappropriate behavior, no consumption of alcohol or banned substances on the bus.
For each trip, we select quality establishments, always with a minimum 2-star rating for hotels. Whether it's a hotel or a hostel, you can count on comfortable, clean and conveniently located accommodation.
Our hotels and hostels are always located in the city center, close to places of interest and local entertainment, so you can make the most of your stay without wasting time in transport. With a few exceptions.
Rooms are shared among friends, in a relaxed atmosphere, but we respect a simple rule: men stay with men, women with women. Rooms are divided into groups of 2, 3 or 4 people, depending on the configuration of the site. If you're traveling as a couple, it's possible to have a room for two, but only by prior arrangement.
We want you to feel comfortable, surrounded and safe throughout your stay.
Each Erasmus Place trip is supervised by one or more trained Tour Leaders, who are friendly and always available. Their role is to ensure that your stay is well organized, that the group is safe and that a friendly atmosphere prevails from departure to return. They welcome you, inform you, lead the trips, coordinate the different stages of the program and listen to you throughout the trip.
Our Tour Leaders are fluent in between two and five languages, including English, making it easy to communicate with all participants, whatever their nationality. They are not certified guides like those you find in museums, but they know perfectly well the destinations they visit, the instructions for the trip, and the good tips to share. They're there to accompany you, reassure you, answer your questions, deal with the unexpected and make sure you get the most out of your Erasmus experience.
Their aim is simple: to make sure you return home with your head full of memories... and the desire to go back (alone or with us!).
