The Netherlands is canals, tulips and windmills. Cruise Amsterdam's canals, visit the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House, and in spring walk through millions of tulips at Keukenhof. Day trips lead to the windmills of Zaanse Schans, the fishing village of Volendam and the car-free village of Giethoorn.
Most trips are 3 to 5 nights in Amsterdam, or 7 to 9 nights on a Europe tour by rail with Brussels, Paris and Germany. Every Trip Inventor package can be customised with hotels, trains and flights from your city.
