Holland is the ultimate destination for cycling thanks to its flat landscape, mild climate, short distances and wonderful infrastructure.
The Netherlands is one of the most secularized countries in Western Europe. Only about 39% of citizens claim to be religious, and of those 39% only 6% attend church on a regular basis. There are currently two main religions prominent in Dutch society: Roman Catholic and Protestant.
Traditional Dutch cuisine is not very diverse. It’s very simple and straightforward. The traditional Dutch meal consists of a lot of vegetables with a little meat. The average Dutch household prepares food from other cultures as well. The major influences are Italian, Chinese, Mediterranean and Indonesian.
The Netherlands is world-renowned for its number of art and historical museums, along with its impressive collection of fine art. Dutch architecture also became prominent during the Golden Age, where Baroque-style buildings were considered the norm. Traditional Dutch music consists of simple melodies and rhymes that focus on central emotional themes like loneliness, happiness, and sadness.
With the most exquisite flowers blooming in the summer, refreshing showers in the fall, snowfall and nostalgia in the winter and the most colourful landscapes in the spring, the Netherlands has something to offer to everyone. From markets to gardens to the most absurd museums and shops, this country gives a 360-degree experience to its tourists, of a culture and lifestyle so diverse that it always stays with the traveller.
The Venice of the North
From its humble beginnings as a 13th-century fishing village on a river bed to its current role as a major hub for business, tourism and culture, Amsterdam has had a strong tradition as a centre of culture and commerce.
Golden Age canals lined by tilting gabled buildings are the backdrop for Amsterdam's treasure-packed museums, vintage-filled shops and hyper-creative drinking, dining and design scenes.
Fringing the centre, post-industrial buildings in up-and-coming neighbourhoods now house creative enterprises, from art galleries to craft breweries and cutting-edge tech start-ups, as well as some of Europe's hottest clubs.
The Van Gogh Museum hangs the world's largest collection by tortured native son Vincent. A few blocks away, Vermeers, Rembrandts and other Golden Age treasures fill the glorious Rijksmuseum.
Beauty is something Amsterdam was gifted in multiple forms, and its magical landscape is definitely something that you must explore. Amsterdam is packed with cobbled streets and hidden gems that are a treat for the eyes and your soul.
You can also find here some of the most beautiful tulip gardens that can evoke your senses with a fragrant smell. It’s cannabis-cafes, and the red light area further attracts the visitors to have a glimpse of this beautiful city. The churches and palaces further leave the visitors spellbound with their grandeur and architectural magnificence.
The city of Amsterdam prides itself on a rich cultural life and a diverse population. It is a gastronomical paradise for visitors and has an unmatched infrastructure that makes it a destination like none other.

A City with Rich History
Rotterdam is a young, dynamic global city, continuously renewing itself at a rapid rate. Sparkling skyscrapers, an impressive port, trendy restaurants and food markets, renowned museums and awesome festivals are the direct result of the can-do mentality..
of the Rotterdammers. Full of energy and innovation, Rotterdam reinvented itself after the bombing of the Second World War. It broke with the past and chose modern architecture. Rotterdam still embraces experimentation: almost anything is possible. Here, you are constantly surprised by new initiatives: from a rooftop city farm to a music festival in the harbour, from an exclusive rooftop bar to a brewery in an old warehouse.
For those with a head for heights the Euromast provides a great panoramic view of the city and more especially some of the fine and striking architecture on the Wilhelminapier. The first viewing platform takes you to 100 meters, then you can go a further 85 meters if you have the courage.
Rotterdam has great nightlife as you would expect in such a modern city. Near to the center you will find Stadhuisplein has many bars and clubs located nearby and the “student area” where you can get a great night out without breaking the bank. Rotterdam is a very green city, and a great place to visit as a tourist.
In short, Rotterdam has an incredible variety of fun things to do for visitors of all ages. Sailing through the port, visiting attractions, admiring the architecture, looking at art, shopping, a night on the town…
City of Peace and Justice
With its North Sea breeze and Gothic architecture, the Hague sits pretty on the western coast of the Netherlands. In the shadows of nearby Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the Hague—or as the Dutch say..
Den Haag—holds its own as a Netherlands must-see. The popular perception of the Netherlands' third-largest city is of a stately, regal place populated with bureaucrats and businesspeople. While this is true to some extent, there is so much more: the city's cultural scene – anchored by the presence of the world-renowned Mauritshuis museum and Nederlands Dans Theater (and about to be boosted by the opening of the Spuiplein cultural precinct) – is one of the most exciting in the country.
The city boasts many monuments, chic hotels, and a political heart. The government of Holland is run from the historic Binnenhof and the King’s office palace can be found on the Noordeinde. You can visit beautiful art museums and a day of high-end shopping.
Find a table on one of the terraces on Plein or Grote Markt squares and enjoy the many flavors of The Hague. With two Michelin star restaurants, fresh fish from Scheveningen and the Asian influences of China Town and the former colonies, there is always something to enjoy.
With attractions like Madurodam miniature city and the Omniversum dome movie theatre, The Hague is also a wonderful place for every visitor. The tram will convey you from the city center to Scheveningen and Kijkduin in just twenty minutes, where you can enjoy the sun, beach and sea.
