Windmills, tulip fields, canals and bicycles – the Netherlands is known for its picturesque landscapes and cosmopolitan cities! Amsterdam in particular attracts visitors with its idyllic canals, the Anne Frank House and the famous Van Gogh Museum. Rotterdam, with its modern architecture, and Utrecht, with its charming alleyways, are also well worth a visit.
The best time to visit is between April and September, when the temperatures are mild and the tulips are in full bloom. For a quieter holiday, try spring or late summer to avoid the crowds.
Major credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in the Netherlands, but it is always a good idea to have some cash with you, especially in smaller shops and markets.
