The Paradise you were in Search of

The Dutch leads a cosmopolitan, urban lifestyle, but the people here reside in cities constructed on a human scale. The cities provide a nice blend of modern and traditional architecture.


Every one of the major cities in Netherlands has a unique character, despite the fact that all the cities lie very closely. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague all are members of the Randstad conurbation, having a ten million population. The major tourist destinations in Netherland are Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The urban parts of Holland comprise of some stunning galleries, museums and exhibitions.


Amsterdam persuades lots of tourists every year, with its majestic buildings, historic centre, distinct canal ring and museums. However, The Hague, Haarlem, Delft, Utrecht, Maastricht and Groningen also possess their share of museums, historic buildings, attractions and traditions. You can reach nearly anywhere in Netherlands by train or by bike.


Rotterdam is famous for its eye-catching modern architecture, as illustrated by the Erasmus Bridge, locally known as the "Swan". There are some UNESCO world heritage sites also in Holland. The coastal area has great significance in the life of Dutch people and the coastal areas have some attractive beaches that have sea fishing, horse riding, sailing and kite surfing. You may not find many destinations like Holland, which gives satisfaction in all ways possible.

Amsterdam: Accommodation that is tough to part ways with

Amsterdam provides hotels, which are of different shades and catering to various denominations, from discounted hotels to luxurious establishments and both of these can be located near to the airport or inside city boundaries. Ratings of hotels are centered on customer experience, amenities, media reviews and professional benchmarks.


A two-star hotel may provide better food and service compared to a five-star hotel but might be way behind on facilities and vice versa. Therefore, before settling in on accommodations, assess whether the particular hotel satisfies your favored budget, quality, amenities, style, comfort level and convenience, and/or personalized service. At times, on paper, they guarantee to deliver whatever requirements you put in front of them but actually the services or décor delivered are not up to the world standard.


Most significantly decide according to the purpose of your visit. For instance, if you desire a luxurious and pleasurable vacation with a room service, indoor pool and spa, then settle on a five-star hotel. By the way, there are various ways to reach Amsterdam, which include cheap flights to Amsterdam, ferry to Amsterdam, train travel to Amsterdam, international buses, arriving by car. You can choose one of the above according to where are you reside and how much time and money you have.
