Tulips, windmills and canals come to mind when thinking of the Netherlands. Perhaps most mature travellers will not have this country on their agenda, after all it is further north-west in Europe and most travellers tend to want to stay more to the south.
However, don’t underestimate what this country has to offer. It is full of surprises – from clog making, to cheese making, to blooms of tulips that fill the fields and some very impressive museums, we think a trip to this part of the world will offer something very different.
Travel Tips
- Currency – The Netherland’s currency was the Dutch Guilder but as they are a member of the EU they have used the euro since 2002.
- Visas – it is always best to check visa requirements for your own country. This link takes you to a comprehensive visa checklist and also provides other important information for the traveller.
Travel Alerts
- Check out the Netherlands Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for relevant travel alerts.
Travel Adventures
- Travellers are always bound by money and time, so if you just want a taste of the Netherlands then go to one of the bigger cities and then perhaps do a couple of day trips to give you a broader feel for the country. Visit Netherlands Tourism to see what this great country has on offer.
