Delft
The picturesque city of Delft lies on the River Schie between Rotterdam and The Hague, is full of culture, historical monuments and a network of fantastic canals. Delft has long been associated with trades and industry, in particular the manufacturing of Delft Blue earthenware, a world-famous form of pottery that has been around since the 17th century. Relive its glorious past as you wander along tranquil walkways, beautiful canals, many churches, delightful market square and well-preserved medieval houses.
Giethoorn
Giethoorn, a peaceful quaint village known as “Venice of the North”. Boats are the main mode of transportation in the village and it is easy enough to spend whole days exploring Giethoorn’s delightful waterways. You may board a boat for a guided tour of Giethoorn, or paddle your own boat, cruising down the village waterways, ducking under wooden bridges, and learning about life in the area, which was once a waterlogged swamp.
The Hague
The Hague is the administrative capital of the country and the home of the court and government, though Amsterdam is the official capital. It is also the international city of peace and justice, Royal residence, European city and multicultural hub. The Binnenhof is the oldest parliament building still in use in the world.
Kinderdijk
The iconic 19 beautiful windmills, built around 1740, stand here as part of a larger water management system to prevent floods. Today, they symbolise Dutch water management, and in 1997 they were declared to be UNESCO World Heritage.

Rotterdam
