This is a comprehensive look at the vacation destination of Holland. With cool summers and mild winters, Holland is a year-round attraction for Europe-bound travellers. This guide includes extensive walking tours, plus hotel, restaurant and sight-seeing details to 48 major cities and towns, picturesque country villages, luxury seaside resorts and historic, architecturally-rich hamlets and villages. From exciting Amsterdam, bursting with non-stop nightlife, wonderful street-life, beautiful canals and world-renowned museums and galleries, to the stately buildings, ordered streets and lovely seascapes of The Hague, to the mediaeval majesty and centuries-old winding streets of Utrecht, Ron Charles presents the Holland he knows so well. The author features every major museum (and many minor ones), castles, parks and gardens, flower festivals, outdoor markets and countless breweries and pubs. More than a dozen special-interest itineraries have been prepared, ranging from 6-14 days, including several geared toward student activities, tulip viewing and crafts shopping.
The guide also features valuable money-saving tips throughout the country, and contains never-before published insider tips on finding the best vacation deals - including savings of fifty percent or more on accommodations, air and train fare, and rental cars. Also featured are historic and entertaining sidebars, from the history of dikes and dams to the in's and out's of the royal palace. Day trips and excursions from Amsterdam are presented, as are trips off the beaten path to places few tourists ever visit.
