Keukenhof Park – One of the largest flower gardens in the world and is often referred to as the ‘Garden of Europe’
View TourSimilar to a scotch egg, Bitterballen are typical savoury snacks found in most traditional pubs, and usually served to accompany a pint or two of beer. They are small, fried, bread-crumbed balls, with a filling of beef ragout or veal seasoned with spices, and served with mustard.
One of the most famous Dutch dishes, these small fluffy pancakes are light and spongey in texture and traditionally served with a coating of melted butter and powdered sugar. Enjoy them year round from charming street food vans, but they're particularly popular during the festive season!
Created by mashing a variation of different vegetables and sometimes fruit with potatoes, this Dutch dish provides a delicious and hearty meal. Traditionally made with carrot and onion or sauerkraut, kale, spinach and turnip greens, Stamppot is often served alongside some form of meat – most commonly smoked sausage or 'Rookworst', stewed meat or julienned bacon.
Originating from Gouda, a city south of Amsterdam, in the late 18th century, stroopwafel are thinly sliced round waffle layers filled with a sweet caramel syrup or 'stroop', and pressed in a hot iron – perfect for devouring warm! You can find them in every Dutch supermarket but they are best enjoyed fresh from a street stall.
With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...
Canals
With more than 160 canals connecting the city, Amsterdam's romantic waterways are definitely symbolic of the capital and have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since August 2010. A boat ride is often the best way to discover the stunning architecture of the 16th and 17th century canal houses – be sure to join on our Highlights of the Netherlands tour!
Museums
One of the most famous voices of the Holocaust, Anne Frank is known worldwide, and the Anne Frank House tells the remarkable yet tragic story of her family's two-year hiding in the secret annex. Art lovers should spend time discovering the Van Gogh Museum; dedicated to the extraordinary life and work of Dutch-born Vincent Van Gogh, this impressive museum features 200 paintings of the artist's work, including The Potato Eaters and Vase with Sunflowers.
Dam Square
This huge public square is one of the most-visited areas of Amsterdam, featuring a number of restaurants, shops, museums and, most prominently, the 17th-century Koninklijk Palace. A living building where you can follow in the footsteps of royal guests, the grandeur of the Golden Age can be seen through its marble galleries, world-famous sculptures and ornate design.
Valkenburg Castle Ruins & Velvet Cave
Dating back to the 12th century, Valkenburg Castle is the only castle in the country that is built on a hill. It was destroyed under siege in 1122, and was rebuilt several times after. The current ruins are those of the castle rebuilt in the 14th century, and restoration work in the 1930s revealed secret underground passages leading to the Velvet Cave, which was used for marl mining.
Gemeentegrot (Municipal Cave)
The spectacular Municipal Cave lies beneath the town of Valkenburg. Over two thousand years ago, the Romans began working on this cave in order to mine for marl which they used in building materials, and today, you can visit the cave and delve into the history of the people who worked there. Be sure to visit at Christmas when the cave turns into an underground market – the oldest underground Christmas market in Europe!
Old Town
The quaint cobbled streets and pretty buildings of the Old Town are a delight, with plenty of charming cafés, rustic restaurants and independent boutiques to enjoy. Sample a glass of the local white beer in one of the traditional taverns.
Translating to ‘Kitchen Garden’, Keukenhof Park, which is situated in Lisse, is actually one of the largest flower gardens in the world and is often referred to as the ‘Garden of Europe’. Over seven million bulbs are planted each year over 32 hectares, and 800 different tulip varieties make up the displays. When the finally bloom in spring, the park transforms into a sensational sea of colour, with various themed gardens spanning over the four pavilions.
Political Heart
The Hague was the capital until 1806 and is the seat of the Dutch government, parliament and the Supreme Court. Although the location of the capital changed, the Royal family and parliament decided to keep The Hague as their home.
Galleries and Museums
The Hague boasts a number of art galleries and fascinating museums, including The Mauritshaus which houses the famous ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, as well as The Louwman Transportation Museum and Museum Mesdag, with its historic art collection.
Beautiful Parks
Although boasting an impressive skyline, The Hague is one of Holland’s greenest cities on account of the many leafy lanes and vast parks. Explore the tranquil Palace Gardens, the Japanese Garden, and Westbroekpark which is completely surrounded by water.
