Discover the best Netherlands destinations and plan the perfect trip to the Netherlands today.

A small country best known for its canals, clogs, and windmills the Netherlands offers travelers far more than this. Take your time to travel in the Netherlands and you’ll find it full of stunning architecture, a rich heritage, pretty, canalside villages, and modern cities. 

Start with the vibrant capital of Amsterdam with our wellness-focused Amsterdam itinerary and discover the best of the city’s sights, restaurants, cafes and spas. Get lost in the beautiful canals and cycle your way around one of the most beautiful urban areas in Europe before diving deep into the incredible dining scene. 

Away from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht, make delightful urban alternatives for short city breaks with plenty to do. 

Make sure to also include time to discover the smaller places. Zaanse Schans, a small model-like town with extraordinary historic houses and windmills is a must for an insight into Dutch culture and heritage. Alternatively, the small town of Giethoorn also offers a chance to visit a lovely historic town cross-crossed by only waterways and bike paths. 

Of course, a visit to the Netherlands wouldn’t be complete without seeing the delightful tulips. Plan your visit in the spring and head to Keukenhof Gardens to discover vast gardens of tulips and windmills.
