- Museums flourish in the Netherlands, with Amsterdam having more museums per square meter than any other city in the world. Almost every city has a unique and interesting museum for travelers to visit and learn more about history, art, music, science, etc. Some of the museums include: The Anne Frank Home, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Modern Art Museum, and many more.
- Flowers are another huge attraction in the Netherlands, so stopping in the flower shops and markets is a must. Hotels and restaurants are often extravagantly decorated with tulips, amaryllis, lilies and hyacinths.
- For more natural beauty visit the Hoge Veluwe National Park, the largest national reserve in the Netherlands. This park seems to combine everything the Netherlands has to offer, with wild deer, drift-sands, flowers, museums, and of course is a great place for a bike ride.
- The North Sea with its scenic beaches invites people for a stroll, a brisk walk or, in summer for sunbathing, swimming or windsurfing.
