experience

Unbelievablely beautiful narrow streets, charming sidewalk terraces, and great food from around the globe highlights one of Amsterdam's must see neighborhoods.

Volendam, NH

destination

Volendam

This fishing villiage on the Markermeer Lake is a great reprieve from from the crowed streets of Amsterdam. Just a short bus ride from the Amsterdam Centeral, Volendam's views of the lake and passing sail boats is something out a painting!

Amsterdam, NH

experience

Anne Frank House

This moving and chilling piece of history cannot be missed. Remember to buy tickets online at least two months in advance, as they sell out quickly and the small museum can only accommodate so many people in a day.

Gouda, ZH

destination

Gouda

Not only is this where Gouda cheese originated, but Stroopwafels were first made here too! This small town will charm you with mouth watering foods, flower covered canals, and whimsical, local shops!

Kinderdijk, ZH

experience

UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk

The 18th century windmills in Kinderdijk are now a UNESCO World Heartiage Site. They are perfectly preserved and one of the most unbelieveable attractions that the Netherlands has to offer. Not only do the Windmills offer up some of the most picturesque scenes in Holland, but learning about their critical place in the development of the Netherlands completed the expierence for us.

Edam, NH

experience

Edam Cheese market

Go to the Wednesday summer cheese market in Edam! The small, scenic town of Edam is one of the Netherland's best kept secrets. The bakerys, coffee shops, and canals alone make it an ideal destination, but Wednesdy mornings during the Summer are the best time to visit! From 10:30-12:30 Edam's market square is transformed into an authentic 16th century cheese market, complete with a parade and fresh cheese samples!

Utrecht, UT

experience

Stromma Utrecht | Canal Tours Utrecht - Pedal Boats

Utrecht is an incredible little town and is basically a less crowded Amersterdam! We rented from "Pedal Boats Utrecht" and spent an hour and a half on the water. The views were breathtaking and it was a great workout. Up to 4 people can go in a boat and it is extremely afforable compared to bigger cities!
