    Presenting a tour of the Netherlands
    0:00 Introduction ; 03:26 Haarlem; 04:31 Alkmaar; 05:45 Leiden; 06:38 The Hague; 07:48 Delft; 08:54 Rotterdam; 10:11 Utrecht; 11:35 Gouda; 12:22 Maastricht ; 13:43 Conclusion
    Starting with a visit to Haarlem, then to Leiden, doing a few day trips out from there. Then to Delft for three more nights and excursions to The Hague, political capital of the nation.
    Then to Rotterdam the great modern city of the Netherlands, continuing to Utrecht, a university town with a large historic center and then to Maastricht in the southern part of the country. I'll also be going up to the Alkmaar cheese market which is a lot of fun.
    This video is a summary of the trip through the Netherlands. We will be presenting short segments about each city here, but we have 22 movies providing a lot more details about these places so be sure to look for them in our collection.
    See the 23 Dutch movies here: bit.ly/2pw5u7d
    Traveling between cities was so easy because the Netherlands has got perhaps the best train system in Europe. It's phenomenal. The trains are clean, fast, frequent and not expensive. This is a small country, so the cities are relatively close together, you can get from one to the next and 15 or 30 minutes usually. This superb rail service in itself makes a good reason to visit this country, shift for it really does eliminate some of those logistical problems of travel, just getting around. It is so easy with these trains.
    Some call it Holland, but the country is The Netherlands. Holland is two provinces in the Netherlands.

    It's soooo so fun to see the Netherlands through a tourist' eyes. I am Dutch (from Delft) and I have been a tourist many times in other countries, love to be in new places, getting surprised by all the beauty and difference. I've been disappointed that I can't be a tourist in the Nederlands, not _really_ but have often tried to imagine what it would be like to be a tourist in the Netherlands. These video's give me that feeling! Like seeing it all through fresh eyes!

Amsterdam, Sneek, Eindhoven, Zoetermeer, Den Haag, Ijmuiden, Venray, Doetinchem, Roermond, Bussum, Zwolle, Nieuwegein, Utrecht, Bergen op Zoom, Gouda, Amstelveen, Terneuzen, Rotterdam.

      I think the maker is confusing the Randstad with 'the Netherlands'.
      With the exception of Maastricht, all the cities in the list are in the Randstad.
      Where are...
      's-Hertogenbosch (Culture and museum city of the south, with Painters like Jheronimus Bosch and Van Gogh),
      Bergen op Zoom (The oldest city palace with a beautiful historic city, The Main Harbourcity of the Netherlands before the Eighty Years' War
      ), Zwolle (Hanze walled city with a unique museum and the glass angel), Breda (The Royal Nassau city of the Netherlands), Deventer (with one of the most beautiful squares in the Netherlands), Valkenburg (historic tourist city in the south), Helmond (bustling city where both history and Modern intersect, Cube Houses and Castles), Eindhoven (The Design City and City of Light of the Netherlands, with Van Gogh Monuments in the hinterland)

      Make sure not to go by train on rush hours during the week. Unlike you like standling like a sardine in a tin can. Also avoid going in autumn and the winter, the trains can't handle falling leaves and snow so well so trains often get cancelled and you have to go by bus.

    I had been a visitor, (courtesy of the military route and the US Navy) way back in the late 1950s in Amsterdam...had always wanted to retire there, loved that city so much...had rented a bike and pedaled all over...enjoyed it immensely! These days I might visit (if I ever win one of the lotteries), but not stay in Amsterdam...maybe Maastricht or Utrechtl...rent a bike again...being so much OLDER and somewhat infirm now from Arthritis...DRAT!

    101st Airborne landed near Eindhoven, 82nd Airborne landed near Nijmegen. I would think these would be worthwhile destinations for an American. The 82nd actually landed some distance away near the town of Groesbeek. From hindsight it was of one the contributing factors that Market Garden failed, it was not because of lack of heroism of the soldiers of the 82nd. They fought their way all the way to the Nijmegen bridge and did a flanking maneuver by crossing the Waal river. The area where they first landed is still called 'Little America'.

    @gijsbrans2338 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    If someone's reading this and thinking of doing a similar trip, I recommend visiting even more places if you're also going 3 weeks.
    Most of these cities aren't all that large and you can see pretty much all of it within a day or less usually. Because of this I'd recommend visiting some other towns and cities, since you'll be able to see most of them in a couple hours. I personally think it would be most interesting to visit some more cities in the east, like the historical cities of Nijmegen and Groningen.
    Edit: I would also recommend renting a bicycle. The biking infrastructure is great, there's virtually no hills, and it will allow you to get to many more places and see much more in a shorter time span.

      You could squeeze more cities into 21 days, but I enjoyed the relaxed pace of 2 or 3 nights in each of the 9 places. There are many more places to visit, so save something for repeat visits: Amersfoort; Apeldoorn; Arnhem; Breda ; Den Bosch; Deventer; Dokkum; Dordrecht - Dortrecht; Edam; Eindhoven; Enkhuizen; Groningen; Hattem; ‘S Hertogenbosch; Hoorn; Houten; Kampen; Kinderdijk; Leeuwarden; Marken; Middelburg; Muiderslot; Nijmegen; Ootmarsum; Schiedam; Sneek; Swollen; Thorn; Veere; Volendam; Zaandam; Zaanse Schans; Zierikzee; Zutphen; Zwolle;

Amersfoort; Arnhem; Breda; Den Bosch; Deventer; Dordrecht; Enkhuizen; Groningen; Hattem; ‘S Hertogenbosch; Hoorn; Houten; Kampen; Kinderdijk; Leeuwarden; Middelburg; Muiderslot; Nijmegen; Ootmarsum; Schiedam; Swollen; Zaandam; Zutphen; Zwolle;

      den bosch == 's hertogenbosch (just like den haag == 's gravenhage) you can cross off one there.
      i don't know any swollen, probably a phonetic form of "zwolle" another one you can cross off
      i can only speak for arnhem, breda, den bosh, deventer, dordrecht, groning and kinderdijk, never visited the other places except for passing through
      nijmegen: never been there, but it is the oldest city with city rights iirc, so i guess it's a keeper for historical purposes.
      muiderslot: idem dito, but extremely old dutch history and a pretty sight to behold the old keep.
      arnhem: legendary from world war 2, another historical landmark, played a gig there with my band like 15 years ago, friendly folk, nice city to stroll through with little shops everywhere (at the time)
      deventer: has a big old square with a church on it, and a big old kettle from back in the middle ages where they used to boil witches in, pretty grim shit, got a lot of modern shit mixed in too, prett good night life, nice town to have a beer.
      anyway, the southeastern parts of the country are the most influenced by catholicism and have their construction style, big old squares, with big old catherdrals
      groningen: very lively city with tons of students keeping it going.
      leeuwarden and middelburg may be nice
      there's actually a night train going all the way from vlissingen by the hour (with middelburg just a stop before) that goes through amsterdam, so you could pick those up along the way whilst catching some sleep :P
      i would suggest texel too, the biggest island we have, you could cover some den helder (the city from where the boat to the island goes, has the navy headquarters too) and a bit of the "waddenzee" maybe while you're at it, we even have seals over there, when you look north from texel, you can almost see the end of the world from there lol. nothing but sea.
      kinderdijk with the little mills and the high up polders is kind of bread and butter dutch shit, kinda like lisse and the keukenhof :D
      personally not all that blown away by dordrecht.
      breda is nice, tilburg isn't half bad either, but a fucking maze to navagate by bike, eindhoven is cool too.
      they're all in the vicinity.

      @@denniscallan My favourites out of these cities are: Arnhem, Nijmegen, Den Bosch, Zutphen, Deventer and Zwolle.
      Zutphen, Deventer and Zwolle are the more well known dutch hanseatic cities with a great history. Especially Zutphen is underapreciated and has a beautiful historic city center.
      Arnhem is where I live and played a big role in the ending of WWII. A big part of the city was destroyed and rebuild over the years and it's fascinating to see the old and the new next to each other.
      Nijmegen has a history that goes as far back as the Roman Empire. Nijmegen was on the border of the roman empire. Nijmegen also has beautiful parks.
      Den Bosch is also a great city with beautiful historic buildings and canals (although the canals are more hidden than in cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht). The city centre feels to me very "gezellig" as we dutch people say.
