The post It’s Worth Going to The Netherlands for Tulip Season appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Spring 2023 got off to a slow start, but now that that chill in the air is lifting, the tulips are coming out to play.
Keukenhof Gardens, just 20 miles south of Amsterdam, is the most famous place to take in the blooms. Known as the Garden of Europe, the park has 7 million flowers across its 79 acres.
Dating back to the 15th century, Keukenhof opened to the public in 1949. That year, more than 200,000 visitors came to see the tulips. 74 years later, over one million visitors are expected for the season.
“The first tulips and hyacinths are already flowering. Visitors can enjoy a colourful park from day one,” the gardens stated. “In autumn, Keukenhof’s gardeners planted 7 million flower bulbs by hand. Across the Bollenstreek [bulb growing region] the fields are starting to bloom.”
The season runs from now until May 14, with flower lovers able to visit the park from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. each day.

]]>Van Abbemuseum
Eindhoven’s museum of modern and contemporary art just happens to be one of the most impressive institutions of its kind in the entire country. Its collection counts the works by Picasso, Kandinsky, Mondriaan, and Chagall among around 2,700 works it has on display.
Philips Museum
Eindhoven is home to several museums that honor its industrial heritage, and this one is the best example. This museum explores the history of this Dutch electronics company and how its products impacted developments in music, lighting, health, and communications.
DAF Museum
Another industrial museum located in Eindhoven will be a safe haven for fans of vintage cars. During your visit, you can discover many trucks and prototype vehicles produced by this Dutch truck manufacturing company over the past few decades.
Inkijkmuseum
What makes this “micro museum” so unique is that you don’t even have to step inside. It’s located inside the washhouse of the former linen factory, and you can enjoy its ever-changing exhibits by looking in through the windows from the outside.

]]>For those looking for a way to travel while following current pandemic protocols, a cycling trip between Belgium and the Netherlands might just be perfect for you.
You have two options for starting your trip. You can begin in Belgium on the coast, usually in Knokke or Ostend. Or, you can start in the Netherlands in Zeeland. Zeeland has a number of towns like Breskens which are very picturesque. Whatever route you decide to take, it will give you the chance to cycle along the shoreline of both countries.
You should stop along the way, and enjoy the Belgian and Dutch coastline. Each of the seaside towns has its own charms, and Knokke is known as the Hamptons of Belgium. You may want to end your cycling tour here and enjoy a few days in the sun. After all, Belgium is known for four things: beer, waffles, chocolate, and French fries. Those are basically the four most delicious foods and drink on the planet. You won’t be disappointed by this socially distanced adventure!

]]>The new self-care trend requires access to cows and not much more. It’s believed that hugging a cow is very soothing and therapeutic. After taking a tour of a farm, you would typically embrace an animal and let its warmer temperature, big size, and slow heartbeat calm you.
It all began in rural provinces of the Netherlands over 10 years ago. Cow hugging is today a part of a movement to bring people closer to nature. Farms in Rotterdam have started offering cow hugging sessions and they were soon followed by farms in Switzerland, the US, and other countries.
Cows also enjoy the experience! According to a 2007 study, cows get very relaxed when they are getting a massage in parts of their neck and back, so you don’t have to worry about being selfish here. Bonding like this might be just what you needed.

]]>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.

]]>The post Fun Facts About Rotterdam’s Cube Houses appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Central Idea
The Cube Houses are a brainchild of architect Piet Blom, whose main goal was to optimize the space inside by tilting the cube of a conventional house by 45 degrees.
Forest of Homes
Blom also had the vision to design a village within a city with his Cube houses — each house within this formation represents a tree, so they could form a forest together.
/
] Parece cenário de desenho animado, mas essas são as Casas Cúbicas (Cube Houses) em Roterdã! A ideia aqui é otimizar espaço, aglomerando pessoas sem aglomerar o chão, baseado no conceito de viver em um "telhado urbano", como se fossem casas de árvores (cada casa representa uma árvore e o aglomerado, uma floresta)! E sim, tem pessoas morando nelas! Aliás, se você quiser dá até para se hospedar, pois tem um hostel (Stayok) funcionando por lá. É muito bacana, Roterdã é uma cidade incrível!! Conhecemos essas casas e ficamos sabendo mais da história de Roterdã em um tour fantástico com a @derotterdamtours. Indicamos muito!! ⠀ Tem muita informação e dicas de Roterdã no @rotterdam_info, o site é super completo! ⠀ 
Fomos para a Holanda em um excelente voo direto da @klm de Fortaleza para Amsterdã! ⠀ 
Total Number
When Cube houses were designed in 1977, there was a plan to build 55 homes, but only 38 small cubes and two super-cubes ended up being completed.
Three Floors
Each of the houses is composed of three floors, including the ground floor entrance, two floors that serve as a living area, and top floor which is typically used as a small garden.

Architect Ben Kutner and Jeff Brown were inspired by this project and tried to create similar Cube Houses in Toronto, but only three ended up being built.

The history of Amsterdam wasn’t so bright in the first half of the 20th century, but the city started living again in the 1960s with the hippy culture. To this day, Amsterdam stayed a unique city with a vibrant culture and an exciting art scene. Young people around the world visit it when they want a boost in contemporary art and innovative solutions for all kinds of problems. The city is a heaven for cyclists in every sense. From highway rules to flat streets, the whole environment is cyclist-friendly.
There’s so much more this city has to offer. From incredible beers to lovely parks to relax in, the whole atmosphere is warm and inviting. The only difficult thing is saying goodbye once your vacation is over.
