Beyond Amsterdam

The Netherlands is small. You can cross the entire country in about 3 hours by train. Here are the highlights.

Amsterdam

All year

The famous capital. Canals, museums, and vibrant nightlife.

Rotterdam

All year

Modern architecture, massive port, and a gritty urban edge.

Utrecht

Spring/Summer

Like Amsterdam but cozier. Dom Tower and unique wharf cellars.

Maastricht

Summer/Winter

Southern charm, hilly landscapes (by Dutch standards), and great food.

Giethoorn

Summer

The Venice of the North. No roads, only canals and walking paths.

Keukenhof

April - May ONLY

The world's most beautiful spring garden. Millions of tulips.
