essential netherlands bucket list items by us

Our Netherlands tours show you all the best places to see in the Netherlands, from the gorgeous canals to the famous Amsterdam museums.

Wander around the canals of Amsterdam

Prepare for the magic of seeing Amsterdam's iconic waterways as we take you for a stroll around this historic city. Lace up your walking shoes and try not to blink as you catch a glimpse of gabled houses, leafy squares, cute houseboats on the canals and flower-decked bridges.

Discover the story of the Dutch art

No trip to Amsterdam is complete without learning about the Dutch masters of art and you'll have the chance to discover the tales of some of the world's best artists. With the likes of Vermeer, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Bosch and Hals all hailing from Holland, you're sure to be in good company as you explore the country's art history.

Learn about the architecture of Amsterdam

If you can tear your eyes from Amsterdam's pretty canals, you'll be staring at the topsy-turvy gabled houses. You'll notice these charming buildings teeter every which way, with some leaning to the side, while others look like they might tumble over. Fill your camera with memories as we stroll around the jumble of colourful facades and learn about these historic homes.

Get lost in the arty Jordaan

Often cited as Amsterdam’s most charming neighbourhood, wandering into the Jordaan feels like stepping back in time. Originally a working-class area, the Jordaan’s narrow streets and quaint buildings now make up one of Amsterdam’s most desirable quarters, dotted with independent art galleries, antique shops, courtyard gardens and atmospheric bars and restaurants. Ditch the map and lose yourself in the labyrinth of narrow lanes.

Relax at Vondelpark

It doesn’t matter if it’s simmering hot or wintery cold, whenever the sun is out in Amsterdam the locals head to the first terrace or park they can find to soak up some vitamin D, and you should too! The most popular park in Amsterdam is the Vondelpark, located right in the heart of Amsterdam. ‘T Blauwe Theehuisje is an icon amongst locals and the perfect spot to relax with a cold beer or a cup of hot chocolate after your stroll.

what to eat & drink in netherlands

Dutch food is a dream and we’re here to guide you through all the seafood, pancakes and deep-fried delights you can get your hands on.

Soused herring

No one eats herring like the Dutch and you’ll quickly get to know the Dutch way of eating maatjesharing, or soused herring. The fish is lightly salted, mildly brined but never cooked by heat. To do it like the locals do, hold the fish by the tail high in the air, then tilt your head back and eat the whole tasty lot in one go.

Stroopwafel

If you’re on the hunt for dessert, the Netherlands is the place to be. One of our favourite treats is the stroopwafel, a sweet waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough. Once you bite in, you’ll find a heavenly dollop of caramel syrup in the middle. Buy them fresh from the market or take a few home… we’re sure you won’t stop at one.

Bitterballen

These delicious deep-fried balls are made from meat roux cooked in a rich beef stock of onion, nutmeg, salt and pepper. They’re crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside and best washed down with a beer at a local cafe. Do as the locals do and dip them in the classic tangy mustard, but be warned - they’re highly addictive.

when is best to visit netherlands

The Netherlands is a dream all year round. From the colourful tulip fields of spring to the cities in a summer glow, the Netherlands is the place to be 365 days a year.

Best time to see the Netherland’s tulip fields

If you want to see pretty tulip fields at their blooming best, you’ll need to visit the Netherlands in spring between March and May.

Best time to visit the Netherland’s cities

We love the Netherland’s cities all year round. See Amsterdam in a magic blanket of snow in winter, or experience the golden autumns and lovely summers.

Best time to explore the Netherland’s museums

The Netherlands is famed. for its superb museums and while they’re open year round, the best time to visit is in the winter or autumn, with fewer crowds and shorter queues
