The Netherlands is known for its windmills, tulips, and world-famous painters such as Van Gogh and Rembrandt.
Known as being a largely flat country, the Netherlands is an ideal destination for those who want to slow down, unwind and explore the cultural offerings of the diverse Dutch cities. Although each city is unique, you can feel the welcoming Dutch ambience in all of them and it’s easy to travel from one to the next. The Netherlands deserves more than a hurried weekend away.
Rotterdam is the city that has it all; a modern skyline with eye-catching architecture and contemporary museums, combined with the more traditional area of Delfshaven with its magnificent windmill, canals and pretty canal houses. Explore the stunning Museum Depot, with its 155,000 artefacts, including pieces by Van Gogh.
Slightly south of Rotterdam is the city of Eindhoven. From pioneering light bulb technology to the production of the first ever compact disc, Eindhoven is a blueprint for modern living. Enjoy some boutique shopping, relax in one of the innovative restaurants or take a stroll around the charming Market Square in the centre of the city. Find out for yourself why this city meant so much to the legendary Dutch Master, Van Gogh.
Amsterdam is the capital city and a magnet for visitors looking to explore the spectacular museums and see paintings by the great Dutch Masters up close. Step out of the city centre and visit some of Amsterdam’s neighbourhoods, such as Amsterdam North with its fusion of historic and modern buildings, the Latin quarter of Amsterdam South or take a walk to Old West, located on the edge of Vondelpark and home to a selection of quality restaurants.
