Highlights of a Trip to the Netherlands

• Amsterdam (AMS): Experience the village-like and arty vibe in Jordaan, take a boat ride along the canals, unwind in one of the many cafés, admire art in the Rijksmuseum, relax in Vondelpark, and visit Anne Frank’s house, where she famously hid during World War II. The infamous red-light district is a must for a night out, and De Pijp offers a more offbeat night scene.
• The Hague: Wander through the world’s judicial capital and observe the inner workings of the Dutch Parliament at Binnenhof. The main square, Het Plein, is surrounded by graceful architecture. Mauritshuis and Museum Bredius are top spots for art lovers, while Museum de Gevangenpoort shows what life was like in a medieval prison. The Hague has many elegant parks and gardens, including Westbroekpark, Park Clingendael, and Haagse Bos, and you can easily access beaches along the North Sea.
• Rotterdam: Stroll through this historic port city and see why it is known as a top destination for architecture enthusiasts. There are museums, churches, monuments, and the Markthal is a great place to pick up fresh produce, while Rotterdam Zoo is ideal for families.
• Utrecht: Enjoy the surprisingly youthful ambience in this historic city, and sightsee at the Gothic St. Martin's Cathedral, which has Dom Tower – the country’s tallest tower, and visit the City Hall, the Oudegracht, and the Inktpot.
• Delft: See the famous locally produced blue and white ceramics and visit local attractions, like the windmill of Molen de Roos, the Old Church and the New Church, the Delft Synagogue, and the Museum Prinsenhof.
