Close to Amsterdam you can find a beautiful hiking route from Abcoude to Weesp that takes you along green meadows, historic dikes, forts, windmills, stately country houses, and two idyllic rivers.

Is winter a good time to visit the Netherlands? Yes! The weather can be unpredictable with sun, rain, snow, and cold temperatures, but the landscapes are beautiful and there is plenty of things to do.

I have to admit that visiting a museum is not my most favorite thing to do on a holiday, but a visit to the Van Gogh Museum can’t be skipped during your trip in the Netherlands.

A trip to Amsterdam wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Heineken Brewery. The Heineken Experience is a tourist attraction and offers a glimpse into the history and brewing process of the ‘golden’ beer.

Do you want to experience something else than the overcrowded tourist attractions of Amsterdam? Visit the Amsterdam Forest in the Netherlands! This park is a nice getaway and just located outside Amsterdam.
