The Netherlands conjures up iconic Dutch imagery of expansive fields of florescent tulips in full bloom, and the time-honoured silhouette of windmills. The gabled facades of Amsterdam's famed narrow houses are mirrored in a maze of canals linked by storybook bridges, each one leading to another impossibly pretty view.

  • “I’m a huge fan of Dutch cuisine. As the Netherlands is famous for its cheese, no trip is complete without trying varieties like Gouda, Edam, or Leyden. Many cities have cheese markets, like Alkmaar, where you can watch traditional cheese trading. Stroopwaffels are a must if you’re craving something sweet. For an extra authentic experience, pick one up from a street vendor where they make them fresh!”

  • “The Keukenhof Gardens are one of the most stunning flower gardens in the world, especially in spring when millions of tulips bloom. Located in the town of Lisse, about 40 minutes’ drive from Amsterdam, it’s an ideal day trip for visitors staying in the city. This is not just a destination for flower lovers - it’s an iconic part of Dutch culture and a complete feast for the senses.”
