Netherlands

Trip Planning & Itineraries

The Dutch aren't bogged in their clichés, even though bikes, dykes, windmills and blazing flower fields are pretty much the norm outside the major cities. Do as the locals do - grab a bike and explore. It's a very big small country, and full of salutary surprises.

One of the chief pleasures of the place is its lively contrast between pragmatic liberalism and the buttoned-up just-so primness of a culture founded on Calvinist principles.

Getting Around the Netherlands

Driving within the Netherlands isn't much fun once you're off the highways: the roads are narrow and parking spaces are hard to come by. A good way to get around is by bicycle. Most places in the Netherlands are linked by dedicated cycle paths and the terrain is wonderfully flat. Bicycles are available for hire from train stations and from rental services in larger towns. And no matter what you're pedaling, make sure you lock it up securely to an immovable object.

Once you've got a bike organized, it's time to hit the streets of Amsterdam. For more ideas read our suggested itineraries in Amsterdam or read the latest post in the Viator Travel blog for more itineraries & things to do in Amsterdam.
