When envisioning a trip to the Netherlands, most people think of Amsterdam with its picturesque canals, world-renowned museums, historical buildings, and Red Light District. But there’s a lot more to this country than its capital city. On a luxury Netherlands private tour, most of the nation can be explored via waterways with an interconnected system of canals. It also offers some great beaches and is famously home to countless fields of flowers, most notably tulips that blanket the landscapes with color in the spring. As it’s relatively small in size, it’s easy to explore much of it in a short amount of time.
The best places to visit and things to do depend on your interests, with a wide range of options available from exploring art and history to nature and nightlife. If you want to sample a bit of it all on your vacation, there are tours and trips that provide a good mix of everything the Netherlands has to offer from Amsterdam and The Hague to Hoorn and beyond.
I love the Netherlands for its picturesque windmills dotting the countryside, vibrant tulip fields that burst with color in spring, rich cultural heritage seen in its museums and architecture, the bike-friendly cities, and the warm, welcoming spirit of the Dutch people that makes every visit unforgettable.

The capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam offers more than 800 years of history to discover along with some of the country’s most famous attractions. Stroll charming cobbled streets, explore the Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank House, cruise the extensive system of canals, and marvel at the narrow homes with gabled facades.
Sometimes referred to as the “little Amsterdam, Utrecht is nestled in the heart of the Netherlands. It’s steeped in medieval history and centered around the Dom Tower, an iconic 14th-century bell tower with spectacular city views. With a car-free center, a network of canals, a castle, and numerous monuments, it’s a joy to explore. It’s Amsterdam without the tourists!
Rotterdam is one of the most modern cities in the Netherlands, known for its bold architecture and impressive skyline that can be seen from the Euromast, a nearly 300-foot-high tower overlooking the city center. Learn more about its history on a cruise through the port and explore contemporary and historical art at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
Located on the North Sea, The Hague is a cosmopolitan city with a mix of royal and historical buildings while also offering idyllic beaches along the coast. Its Gothic-style Binnenhof complex is the seat of the Dutch parliament and multiple museums display everything from works by the old masters to new, modern styles.
There’s no single best time to explore the Netherlands, but for the iconic tulips, spring is key. Expect bustling crowds from global tourists, though the spectacle justifies it. Summer, peak season, brings warmth and a plethora of festivals. June or early September offer milder crowds and pleasant weather. Autumn unveils serenity, with accommodation bargains and vibrant foliage for woodland strolls. Winter brings chill, wind, and occasional rain, marking the off-season, though December livens up with country-wide Christmas Markets.
