Top places to visit
When on a visit in the Netherlands, many
tourists lose themselves in the decadent
beauty of its fabulous cities. Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, Leiden, The Hague: all of them
manage to combine the exquisite beauty
they have inherited from the past with
many modern and innovative additions.
Yet, once outside those metropolitan
bubbles, you can explore real Dutch life
with all your senses. The country’s smaller
cities and villages are what postcards
are made of, and are the perfect spots in
which to immerse yourself in the culture of
cheese and clogs, or meet locals.
Nature, history and culture
Many destinations, such as Nieuwkoop,
Wassenaar and Heemskerk, will dazzle
you with the best that Mother Nature
has to offer. Both sweet and salty waters
meander through and past the villages,
inviting you to take a cold dip or - if
you are lucky - ice skate on top of it. In
Halderberge and Maastricht, you are
welcome to enjoy some culture. You can
bump into the biggest cultural prodigies
at international art fairs or look back at the
past through the rich pallet of protected
patrimony, which towers above the iconically
flat skyline. Meanwhile, Arnhem and
Vught both have plenty to offer any fans
of history.
