Question

What are some cool and fun things you can do (with your partner) in the NL and what are some nice places that one should not miss seeing? Lets say around the Easter time :P

Answer 1

In Amsterdam:
Rijksmuseum - you have to see the Night Watch by Rembrandt.
Van Gogh Museum - incredible collection
Anne Frank House - very impressive.
Tour along the canals
Visit a Diamond Factory
Flower Market

surroundings:
Volendam a beautiful fisherman´s town
Marken where people still wears traditional clothes.
Alkmaar with its cheese market.

Den Haag (The Hague)
Binnenhof (inner court) and Buitenhof (outer court), a group of government buildings located in the city centre.
Mauritshuis, a truly majestic museum located in a 17th century masion.
The International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration of the United Nations in the Palace of Peace.
Madurodam, an extremely popular miniature town.
See the Palace where Queen Beatrix works and the mansion that serves as the residence of Crown Prince Willem Alexander.
Go to the nearby coastal resort of Scheveningen and the Casino.

If you still have time, go to:
Zaandam where you can visit windmills.
Leiden - American Pilgrim Museum and where Rembrandt was born in 1606.

Visit the Delta Works in the Eastern Scheldt.
Go to Vaals to see the Drielandenpunt (3 countries-point) where the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany border on.
The Efteling fairy-tale park in the south of the country.
Rotterdam, the largest sea-port in the world with its modern buildings and museums.
Maastricht, Limburg - was the first Dutch city to be liberated by allied forces during World War II. In 1976, Maastricht became part of the Euregio Maas-Rhine. In 1992, the Maastricht treaty was signed here, leading to the creation of the Euro.
Delft - to buy the beautiful Royal Delft Porcelain
Arnhem - where you can find the bridge made famous in the "Bridge too Far" film.
Visit the Krüller Möhler Museum.

If you go in late March through mid-May you must go to the Keukenhof, where every spring, these famous Gardens near Lisse, come to life with songbirds and 7000000 flowers.

and I think I better stop. There is so much to see in the Netherlands. The main thing, have fun and enjoy the friendliness of the Dutch people.

Answer 2

Perhaps De Keukenhof is interesting around easter time if you're into flowers 'n all that. They always put on nice displays around that time.
The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam is also defintely worth a visit. Very gripping.
If you're into clubbing, go to Paradiso or De Melkweg I'd say.
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam holds some of the greatest art in history, also worth a visit. I've been there several times and it's still terribly interesting.
You could see the Cheese market in Alkmaar, where they make a funny show of carrying in loads and loads of cheeses.
NINT, the technology museum, is also really amsuing. They have all kinds of things you can participate in as well.
Theme parks... Six Flags holland or De Efteling, lots of fun.
Heh, a visit to a coffee shop is also recommended. ;)

Hell, there's so much to do, but I guess this should give you some idea.

Answer 4

Do you have a motor vehicle? Or a pal who's prepared to force your stuff for the time of. you will get all that stuff in a small motor vehicle,yet'll be much less complicated in case you place each and everything in bins it may be greater value-effective to purchase a ferry cost ticket for a motor vehicle and a couple of ppl and get your advance to seize the return crossing. which would be greater value-effective than 500euros

Answer 5

There is a lot to see. Museums, old towns (Leiden, Haarlem, Delft, Utrecht) all within a few hours. Flowers/bulbs in the Keukenhof. Waterworks (dikes ans dams).

Have fun.
