Amsterdam is cool, but have you ever thought about other cities in the Netherlands you could visit? Here are three that we recommend.
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is becoming more and more popular among tourists. This harbor city is the second-largest in the country. Unlike Amsterdam, its medieval center wasn’t preserved until today due to heavy bombing that happened in the Second World War. Rotterdam has since risen from the ashes and is today a city where you can see the incredible contemporary architecture, great food courts, and a number of festivals.
Utrecht
Utrecht is located in the heart of the Netherlands, which makes it easily reachable from every part of the country. The city offers a cruise or kayak tour over the canals in the old center, a cycle tour to De Haar Castle, or a relaxing day downtown where you can find great restaurants, bars, and shops.
The Hague
The Hague is known as the political center of the country and it’s the place where all the ministries and a few royal residences are. However, the city is also interesting from a tourist point of view. The city’s Mauritshius museum holds paintings from Dutch masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer, and you can also take a walk through the country on a miniature scale located in Madurodam.
