Cheap Amsterdam Hotels
What to see by car: Amsterdam
    
Amsterdam is the major city of the Netherlands, a tiny country that's one of
Europe's smallest. A burst of vigorous driving will get you from one corner
of the Netherlands to the other in a morning, and there are plenty of attractions
worthy of a visit.
The Hague, where the Dutch government is based, is an elegant city with tree-lined
avenues and extensive parks. The most famous sight is the Mauritshuis, a handsome
17th century mansion containing masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans
Hals.
The other important sights include: The Hague Municipal Museum, which has a
large collection of Mondrian paintings; and the Binnenhof, seat of the Dutch
parliament. The old town boasts elegant shopping streets and handsome 18th centurymansions.
Rotterdam is dominated by its port, which until recently was the largest in
the world. The city has a superb art collection in the Boymans-van Beuningen
Museum, including works by Rembrandt and Hieronymus Bosch. Its other key attractions
are: the Euromast, which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the port; the
Maritiem Museum; and Blijdorp Zoo.
The sprawling port can be seen by taking a boat tour through the dockland complex.
Rotterdam's historic centre, destroyed in 1940, was rebuilt in an elegant modern
style that has been widely copied throughout the world. The city has lively
art galleries, modern cafés and jazz bars.
The coastal resorts of Scheveningen and Port Zeeland are ideal escapes from
the hustle and bustle of city life; and, in the summer months, a dip in the
North Sea is not as much of an ordeal as you might think.
Trips to Delft, the quaint village known for its famous blue and white pottery,
as well as the picturesque fishing port of Volendam and the flower markets of
Aalsmeer are popular tour trips. Madurodam, a miniature Dutch town, is particualt
favourite with families.
