AK350Z Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Walibi World! Good theme park in east holland, my girlfriend certainly enjoyed it! As for amsterdam, just make sure you get outside the tourist triangle (train station - Dam square - Red light district) as its much nicer. Can also recommend the Rijks museum.

Zummertor Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 OK a few replies, without knowing your interests / age / who you are traveling with etc., here are a few suggestions: Delft is a nice place for a quick visit. Authentic Dutch 17th century city center which is sufficiently small. Don't think spyker (located in zeewolde in the middle of the Netherlands, in the "polder": the area of land recovered from the IJsselmeer) is doing any 'drop in' visits. It does organize events, but these need to be arranged and are probably rather costly. http://www.spykerevents.com/About August 16 - 24: the "grachten festival" a classical music festival in the Amsterdam canal http://www.grachtenfestival.nl Here is a calendar of events taking place: http://us.holland.com/calendar.php Could be nice to see the big dikes in Zeeland. A quite impressive feat of civil engineering http://www.deltawerken.com/English/10.html?setlanguage=en South of Limburg is quite pretty. Maastricht is the capital, and for Dutch standards quite bohemian/french city. It has some nice old Roman spa buildings ("thermen"). In the neighbourhood are some nice caves of soft limestone. Nature lovers will surely enjoy a nice walk on 'the veluwe'. http://www.develuwe.nl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
