Holidays in Dutch Cities

An introduction to Dutch Cities

If you after a city break with a twist, holidays to Dutch cities will easily make your shortlist. From the hedonistic delights of Amsterdam to the super swish streets of Maastricht, Dutch cities breaks are cut from a different cloth.

For starters, almost every city in this spirit-level-straight land has its own little network of canals, lined with flowers, trees and grand gabled houses. Then you've got the people themselves – famously friendly and masters of the art of taking it easy. Finally, each city has its own treasure trove of goodies just waiting to be explored. So whether you're planning ahead or booking last minute, holidays to Dutch cities are a winner every time.

The biggest name in travel to Dutch cities is obviously Amsterdam. With its celebrated coffee shops and notorious Red Light district, the Netherlands's capital is the cheeky chappy of Europe. But look past its saucy side and you'll find an elegant old town, a bumper crop of museums and some of the best art galleries on the continent. Not to mention a brilliant selection of pubs and bars.

Stray away from Amsterdam and you've got a whole host of A-list names. Like Rotterdam, Holland's centre of all things modern, complete with it's very own Walk of Fame – keep an eye out for Spandau Ballet handprints! Or the country's oldest city, Utrecht, with its thriving cafe culture. For a touch of class, you can't beat Den Haag. But if you really want to go all out, it has to Maastricht, queen of posh nosh and high fashion. Isn't it time you discovered Dutch city breaks?
