We would like to go the first week of Sept. I have never driven in Europe, I am up for the challenge — but would parking be a problem outside the city. We also considered train travel. We need to come back with the kiddies, I have in mind boat and canals, Banksy and Rijksmuseum! I really like the Netherlands and like you say it is actually quite a small country.
We did a road trip a couple of years ago, and there are so many lovely towns and villages to visit. Delft is very pretty. I would love to explore the Netherlands more beyond my one and only trip to Amsterdam a couple of years back. There are so many places I would love to see, but I think Delft, The Hague and Rotterdam would be high up on my trips list.
I would love to visit some of the traditional villages and the windmills and tulips…. Every place looks amazing, specially the nearby places! Thanks for sharing this amazing guide.

Day one in The Netherlands: Amsterdam Of course, it only makes sense to start your trip in beautiful old Amsterdam. Your afternoon in Amsterdam: grand museums With so many Masters coming from The Netherlands, it only makes sense to spend the afternoon getting the know them a little better.
Rijksmuseum Say hello to Mr. The Rijksmuseum was beautifully restored a couple of years ago and not only displays the most beautiful painting by famous Dutch masters but really offers a journey through Dutch art history. Read more about Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam. You can see oldfashioned Dutch houses at Buiksloterdijk or see some street art. Zaanse Schans Would you like to see some windmills on your half day trip from Amsterdam?
Off to Zaanse Schans you go! An impressive amount of original windmills are perched along the water, resulting in a picture perfect Dutch scene. Most windmills are open for visitors. Broek in Waterland Something less touristy and more authentic is Broek in Waterland, just a minute bus trip from Amsterdam.
Typical Dutch wooden houses stand amongst the canals and inhabitants still prefer using boats over cars. I absolutely disagree on this, as it would suggest the castle being part of Amsterdam.
Muiden used to be part of the Dutch defence line, resulting in some massive historical fortresses with amazing views. But the real highlight of Muiden is Muiderslot , the fortress castle dating back to the 13th century. How to get to Muiden and what to see?
