The Netherlands has a long, rich history that’s celebrated throughout its museums and historic sites. Holiday homes can be found near heritage locations like Begijnhof, a women’s religious community with homes and a serene courtyard that date back to the 1400s, and the National Maritime Museum, an interactive museum with virtual voyages and replica ships. The Peace Palace, a landmark, judicial court and library with Renaissance architecture, and the Dom Tower of Utrecht, a Gothic bell tower with a 17th-century carillon and panoramic views, are also great for history buffs.
The Netherlands is filled with cultural venues, historic sites, charming towns and modern museums, all within reach of your holiday rental. The Van Gogh Museum, a large museum housing the masterpieces of Vincent Van Gogh, and Keukenhof, an expansive 19th-century park with Dutch flowers and lush landscapes, are must-visit attractions. You should also visit the Rijksmuseum, an art museum with Dutch Golden Age paintings and European art within a stunning 19th-century building, and the Anne Frank House, the museum home where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis during World War II.
Though it may not be known for its cuisine, the Netherlands boasts a rich food culture that is a reflection of its history and influences. Haring, or Dutch new herring, is a famous dish of raw herring with chopped onions and gherkins, and Stroopwafel, a popular pastry that’s a kind of cookie made from baked batter and a waffle, are two of the most delicious and well-known Dutch dishes. Kroket, a deep-fried roll with meat ragout inside and covered in breadcrumbs, is a popular snack that can be found in every food stand, snack bar and restaurant throughout the Netherlands. If you want to experience the signature Dutch dishes and discover a new favourite, visit a local restaurant or eateries near your holiday rental.

Holiday cottages are available near such places as Efteling, a fairytale-themed amusement park with rides, wooden coasters and light shows, and the NEMO Science Museum, a waterfront museum with science exhibits and experiments in a boat-like building. ARTIS, a century-old zoo park with exotic wildlife and marine aquariums, and Hoge Veluwe National Park, a nature reserve with wild boar, deer, heath, dunes and woodlands, are fun places for kids to explore.
