Browse and explore the best travel guides in Netherlands.
The Netherlands is a flat, canal-laced country where cycling is a way of life, windmills dot the horizon, and tulip fields explode with colour every spring. Beyond the well-trodden streets of Amsterdam, the country offers the modern architecture of Rotterdam, the royal city of The Hague, medieval Utrecht, and a coastline of wide sandy beaches and dune-backed islands in the north. Dutch Golden Age masterpieces hang in world-class museums, and the food scene has evolved far beyond its cheese-and-herring reputation. Compact and superbly connected by rail, the Netherlands is one of the easiest countries in Europe to explore.
