Amsterdam has to be top of the list of places to visit and there is an abundance of things to do. Steeped in history and filled with fascinating museums, including the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, there is an ambience to Holland’s capital city, and with its tall narrow houses, myriad bicycles, and of course the famous network of canals, it is instantly recognisable.
The picturesque resort of Valkenburg where the usually flat Dutch countryside yields to lush rolling hills and sloping forests. Almost surrounded by Belgium and Germany, Valkenburg – or Little Switzerland as it is often called – has a history and character which is wonderfully unique.
The world famous Keukenhof Gardens are the showpiece of bulbfield time in Holland. This historic parkland is brimming with flower tulips, hyacinths and daffodils, as well as unique flower shows in the pavilions.
