Flowers, elegant dark-brick architecture, canals, and world-famous museums. Welcome to the Netherlands.

AMSTERDAM: ART ON THE WATERWAYS

Amsterdam is known as the Venice of the North for a good reason -- its waterways are an integral part of the city’s past, and present. 

Stroll along the city’s oldest part of the canal network, and be mesmerized by the Begijnhof, one of Amsterdam’s oldest squares. 

Culture buffs should not miss the Rijksmuseum, featuring the Dutch tradition’s world-famous masters - Rembrandt, Vermeer and Rubens - contemporary art, and the Van Gogh Museum, which will take you on a journey into the artist’s incredible life.

Visit the prestigious collection of the Mauritshuis, an elegant 18th century palace located in The Hague,  and get your heart ready to see Vermeer’s "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

THE COUNTRYSIDE: FLOWERS, MARKETS AND POTTERY 

Make your way out of Amsterdam, and see the other face of the country, dotted by delightful, traditional villages of Delft, known for its pottery and Zaanse Schans, for its windmills.
The Aalsmer flower auction will surprise you with its sheer size and the number of flowers on auction, blending beauty and modernity in a distinctly Dutch mix.

Delft is a quaint university town. Make your way here to visit its beautiful market square, and stop by for lunch: sit back, relax, and indulge in some people watching. 

After you explore the city center’s enchanting lanes, make sure you don’t leave without tasting poffertjes!

And be sure to buy some pottery as a memory of your trip. Hundreds of windmills along the Zaan River once produced linseed oil, paint, tobacco, mustard and paper.
The dozen of windmills you can see and visit today are actually still working the traditional way; take your time to explore them at your own pace; it’s a worthy discovery.
