Must-see places to visit in the Netherlands and Belgium?

Question

I'm going their in August. I'm trying to figure out all the places I should go to.

Answer 1

I'm from Belgium myself, and in my opinion you should definitely visit Antwerp and Bruges.

Antwerp is the biggest city of Flanders (http://www.antwerpen.be/) and has lots of musea and other interesting things to visit.  Even if you do not like musea, you should go to the "Plantin-Moretus museum" and the "Diamond Museum".  There are lots of really nice medieval streets, lots of great cafes, .... Antwerp is the cultural capital of Flanders, but also a city with lots of social activities, students, ....

Answer 2

So much to see and do.

What is your time frame and what are you into?

Answer 3

I have been to Holland so many times and I can tell you the places I thought were fun.

Anne Frank House ( located in Amsterdam ) It's the actual house in which Anne Frank hid from the Germans.

The Heineken factory ( also located in Amsterdam ).  The famous factory where they make the beer.

The Van Gough Museum ( a museum located in Amsterdam that has the actual paintings of Van Gough.)

American War Cemetary-located in Maastricht, memorial to over 8,000 American servicemen who died in the Dutch and Belgium campaigns of 1944 and 1945

In Belgium, visit Brussels and see the United Nations Building.   Why not visit one of the famous chocolate factories they have and try some Belgium chocolate.
