Netherlands
Netherlands at a Glance
With charming canals, rich history, and colourful city streets, the Netherlands is a place that invites exploration again and again. From world class museums and windmill filled landscapes to tulip fields and coastal towns, this country offers unforgettable experiences in every season.
We loved our time in the Netherlands. Wandering Amsterdam’s canals, exploring lesser known towns, riding high-speed trains, and exploring unique Christmas markets gave us a new appreciation for Dutch culture. The food, the friendly people, and the blend of old and modern make it an easy place to enjoy and return to.
