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 neighborhood, 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.
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 favorite 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.

How to Travel Responsibly in Netherlands
Branch Out From the Famous Sights
Overtourism is a big problem in Amsterdam and you can help by exploring the lesser-visited countryside rather than just the popular Museum Quarter and Red Light District.
Eat and Drink Local
Dutch food is best enjoyed the local way, and you’ll get to learn the real stories behind all the cheese, pancakes and beer when you eat local in the Netherlands.
Get to Know the Road Rules
With more bicycles than any other country, cycling is serious business in the Netherlands. Make sure you avoid walking in the bike lines and keep to the pedestrian paths to stay safe.
