Things to do in Amsterdam
Slip down the canals by boat, join the peloton of cyclists or jolt along merrily in a tram. One of the most charming qualities of Amsterdam is that your journeys through it can be as eye-opening as where you end up. Enjoy a historical city in motion with no shortage of highbrow and lowbrow distractions.
Rotterdam holidays
Rotterdam’s city centre has acted as a laboratory for every architectural style since 1945. Without the postcard-pretty canals of its great rival Amsterdam, the city is known for modern avant-garde developments such as its Cubus Houses’ boxes on stilts or the spike-towered post-modernist Blaaktoren, both in the Old Harbour.
Netherlands holiday FAQs
Visit The Hague for stunning modern architecture. Choose the port city of Rotterdam for its thriving design scene. Follow Utrecht's canals and climb to the top of The Dom Towers for panoramic city views. Or visit peaceful Haarlem to visit the Teylers Museum. See Old Masters in the Museum Quarter of Amsterdam or people-watch from one of the cafes that ring Leidseplein square.
Why not take a road trip – the road between Haarlem and Leiden is known as the flower bulb route, and in spring its fields are filled with brightly coloured petals. In South Holland you'll find windmills and historic wooden houses, especially around Zaanse Schans. Journey up the North Sea Coast to the deserted beaches and miles of walking trails of the quiet Wadden Islands.
