Answer 4

Depends what you like.

If you like cities:

- Amsterdam (very touristy but has a lot to offer)

http://www.amsterdam.info/sights/

- Rotterdam (far less touristy and more modern architecture since the Germans have completely bombed the city centre in WW2)

- Utrecht (nice channels, has similarities with the old buildings of Amsterdam, though far less touristy and smaller)

- Den Haag (Den Hague) is where our government settles

If you like nature and countrysites:

- the province of Drenthe (beautiful nature, very old typical farmers buildings, old celtic burial grounds)

- the province of Zeeland (sea, dunes, great fish to eat, lovely villages)

Then some typical tourist things:

- fields of tulips and flowers in the province of North Holland (check out the 'Keukenhof')

- Kinderdijk (the most concentrated place for windmills)

- Cheese market of Alkmaar

- Amusementpark the Efteling

Answer 5

1. The Hague is lovely, so hire a bike and cycle around. You can cycle to Scheveningen which is the beach resort. Only takes about 10 minutes to cycle there.  The woodland areas are also lovely. Mauritshuis is a fine museum. (contains Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring) Escher palace has all the MC Escher works.

2. Go to Rotterdam,hire a bike there, get a map, and cycle to Kinderdijk, where they have about 18 windmills in a row. Take yr camera.

3. Leiden is a cute university town

4. Delft is a good day-trip. Although the pottery factory is a bit of a let-down.

5. Haarlem is also pretty.

What are your particular interests in general?  Holland is diverse, and has something for everyone.

Answer 6

Rotterdam - Euromast (great view of the city)
