The Netherlands: For Canals, Art, and Easy Exploration
The ‘Why’: The Netherlands, particularly Amsterdam, is an exceptionally easy European country to explore. The landscape is famously flat, making it perfect for walking. The public transportation system is clean, efficient, and connects all major cities and towns. It’s a country packed with world-class art museums, picturesque canals, and fields of flowers.
The ‘How’:
- A canal cruise in Amsterdam is an absolute must. It’s the most relaxing way to see the city’s iconic architecture and learn about its history.
- Book tickets online and in advance for major attractions like the Rijksmuseum (to see Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch”) and the Van Gogh Museum. This will allow you to skip the long lines.
- If you visit in the spring (April is ideal), take a day trip to the Keukenhof Gardens to see millions of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths in breathtaking displays.
