One of Europe's favorite vacation destinations, Holland has it all. Set in verdant countryside the Netherlands' picture-perfect cities strike a balance between bucolic bliss and modernity. Educated and international, the Dutch are both cultured and welcoming. Holland's distinctive culture is sophisticated and egalitarian and representative of everything Europe does well.
There are a number of local dishes to sample. The most bizarre is certainly bitterballen, a meat-based snack of beef or veal flavored with spices and deep fried before being served with mustard. Frequently enjoyed with the superb Dutch beer, these are well worth trying. You will also note the glee with which Dutch people tuck into herring and chips with mayonaise.
Perhaps most the country's most internationally accessible dish is the doughy dessert pannekoeken, a heap of miniature pancakes sprinkled with sugar. In Amsterdam, it's a great idea to work off those pannekoeken or just get from bar to bar faster by taking a bike through the city, Dutch-style.
Rich in culture, Amsterdam is a fun, friendly and stylish city characterised by its waterways and traditional architecture. See it through the eyes of the world's most famous artist, Van Gogh, at the dedicated museum, where luscious swirls of paint marked a genius that was ahead of his time. Be sure to book and arrive early and avoid the lengthy queues.
The Anne Frank Museum is an incredible record of human life and a memorial to one of the most beloved writers of last century. It is also superbly curated. For less sober entertainment, Amsterdam's Sex Museum (adults only) is full of laughs and surprises and includes a collection of Victorian erotica. The Houseboat Museum is a tiny but superb floating homage to canal living through the ages.
Created in Amsterdam, Heineken is one of the world's favourite Dutch exports. Fascinating and entertaining tours around the traditional brewery where it all started are a treat for any beer fan. Ideal for birthdays and stag parties, the brewery tour is the ideal start to a relaxed evening. The tour is interactive so you will have plenty of chances to sample this carefully crafted brew.
Live out your wildest fantasies about Holland's tulip fields at Keukenhof, where eight hundred varieties of tulip bloom in the spring across 32 hectares. The curvaceous flower created one of the first economic bubbles after it was imported from Turkey in the 16th Century. During 'tulip mania', the bulbs were used instead of money until the market in them crashed. A perfect day trip for the whole family, Keukenhof has gardens, shows and artworks. Kids will get a kick out of the maze and adventure playground.
