Make a vacation rental in the Netherlands (Holland) your home away from home in the land of tulips and windmills.
A canal cruise is a great way to see the sights in the culturally diverse city of Amsterdam. Highlights for guests of Netherlands vacation rentals include the Royal Palace; the Anne Frank Huis, where Anne Frank and seven other Jews spent two years in hiding; the huge Oude Kerk (Old Church), with its beautiful stained glass windows and weekly organ concerts; the lovely Westerkerk Protestant church; and the Heineken Experience, an attraction in former Heineken brewery.
Guests of Netherlands vacation rentals can visit a number of fine museums in Amsterdam, including the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art, the Amsterdam Historisch Museum, and Nemo, a fascinating science museum. More off-beat museums include Cannabis College, the Sex Museum, Electric Ladyland: the First Museum of Fluorescent Art, and Cat’s Cabinet, a museum dedicated to felines.
In the famous Red Light District, prostitutes pose in storefront windows and sex shows abound. Amsterdam has a lively club scene, and the coffee houses are known for selling marijuana and hashish.
In nearby Haarlem, guests of Netherlands vacation rentals will find medieval architecture, several interesting museums, and a variety of restaurants. Just outside of Haarlem, sandy beaches can be found in the seaside town of Zandvoort and in Bloemendaal aan Zee.
