Elect's take

"The Netherlands always delivers more than visitors expect. Amsterdam is extraordinary but the rest of the country offers equally compelling experiences that many travellers never discover."

Amsterdam is one of Europe's great cities. The combination of Golden Age canal architecture, world class museums and an excellent food scene creates an atmosphere that is genuinely distinctive. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum alone justify the journey. Rotterdam is one of Europe's most architecturally innovative cities. The Hague combines government with outstanding museums including the Mauritshuis. Utrecht, Maastricht and Groningen each have their own character. The Netherlands is also ideally positioned for day trips into Belgium and Germany.
