Go for a boat tour on the canals, stroll through Vondelpark, and go shopping in the inner city. Amsterdam is a unique city! Amsterdam has the world’s highest museum density and it home to cultural treasures like the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, and Rijksmuseum. One day in Amsterdam is often much too short!
North sea and lake IJsselmeer
The long and wide beaches, the surrounding dunes and the variety of seaside resorts attract domestic and foreign tourists to the North Sea coast. Bathers, surfers, kite surfers, hang gliders, anglers, sailors and motor boaters, they all like to recreate on and near the water.
Lake IJsselmeer is the largest lake in the Netherlands. Picturesque old fishing villages lie along lake IJsselmeer.
Windmills Zaanse Schans
The Zaanse Schans is one of the highlights of the Netherlands.. Be part of a vibrant and stunning living and working community that dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s packed with wooden windmills, barns, houses and museums and built in the typically Dutch wooden architectural style.
The Zaanse Schans will easily fill half a day – there is so much to see, taste, smell and experience!
Cities of Marken and Volendam
There is plenty to do all year round in Volendam, Holland’s best-known fishing village. Take a look in the handsome old harbor full of old Dutch ships and take a boat trip to Marken. Or have your photo taken wearing traditional Volendam clothes and learn more about Volendam in one of its museums.
If you're visiting Marken, you can't miss the little wooden houses. Residents built their homes on 'werven', artificially built hills. In this way, they prevented damage from floods.
The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Beemster forms a unique polder area that shows how the Dutch have controlled the waters and used them to their advantage for centuries.
More than 400 years ago the Dutch succeeded to reclaim land in an area that was at the time still an inland sea using 43 windmills. In those years, the lake of De Beemster changed into a beautiful landscape that lies 3.5 meters below sea level and is divided into a tight geometric pattern of squares and quadrants.
Haarlem with its many historic buildings and beautiful old squares lies near the beach on the banks of the Spaarne river. It is wonderful to stroll through the narrow streets lined by the monumental buildings built by master Lieven de Key.
Visit extraordinary museums, such as the Frans Hals or Teylers Museum, and explore its countless cafés and restaurants. Haarlem is called the most Flemish city of the north with reason!
Discover the lowlands by bike
Holland has more bikes than inhabitants. Whenever possible, the Dutch do everything by bike. There is no better way to immerse yourself in Dutch culture than to get on a bike and discover the lowlands this way.
Holland is a flat country and therefore it’s perfect for a bike ride regardless of your age or experience.
Holland boasts 37,000 kilometers worth of cycle paths
and they will lead you to the most special hotspots.
Cheese market Alkmaar or Edam
Alkmaar is known as the city of cheese in Holland, but that title covers only part of what the town has to offer. It has a beautiful old center with many historic monuments, great shopping districts and countless welcoming terraces, cafes and restaurants for every budget. Alkmaar also has a range of interesting museums, including the Stedelijk Museum, Beer Museum, Beatles Museum and naturally the Cheese Museum. If you want to get out of the city for a while, the beach and dunes are just fifteen minutes away.
