Overview

The Netherlands

Well known for its dykes, windmills and polders, the Netherlands is the country of wind, sea? and cannabis. This kingdom attracts tourists from all over the world, and offers them a wide range of cultural activities. Where the thousand-bridge city of Amsterdam acts as the capital of tourism, the Hague takes the place of administrative capital. At the cities' gates, the countryside opens up to tulip fields and thousands of windmills; in contrast to the coasts, which are very windy, and where swimming on the beaches is reserved for the bravest.

pros

  •  Not far from the UK, the Netherlands is an ideal destination if you just want to switch off and clear your mind for the weekend.
  •  Fine arts, museums, palaces or bike riding and hiking, the Netherlands has so many cultural visits and sports activities on offer in such a pleasant natural environment.

cons

  •  The unreliable weather does not always allow you to be able to practice outdoor activities, such as bike riding.

Our Editorial team's advice

Remember to take as much information on the country with you as possible before leaving. There are many tourist offices, signalled by the letters VVV (initials of the society for the circulation of foreigners, in Dutch) but you have to pay for their brochures (maps, recommended places) and services (reservations).
If you want to have dinner at a restaurant, be sure to be there between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm because most of them stop serving after 10:00 pm.

If there was only one tour we could do, we would definitely choose a walk along the canals surrounding the ancient city centre - Amsterdam Centrum. Here at Easyvoyage, we have ...

Choose your flight neighbour with KLM

You never know who you'll end up sitting next to on a flight, which is why KLM will be launching Facebook and Linked In services that will allow passengers to choose the profile of their neighbour onboard. The service, coined 'meet and seat', will be launched next year but the finer details are still being worked out on the drawing board. The Dutch airline hasn't disclosed whether or not there will
