Holland
The capital city of Amsterdam keeps the beauty and deep floral culture of its homeland, harbouring a famous floating flower market, but is also a great city to explore for art and history enthusiasts with its incredible and insightful landmarks and museums. There is so much history to uncover in this remarkable country, and you can even visit the site of one of the most infamous battles of the Second World War, located in Arnhem. Roam underground in 150 miles of Roman-built corridors in the town of Valkenburg; the Christmas markets are truly unique and astonishing – as they are held in the underground caves themselves! Relish in incredible churches in the stunning historic centre of Maastricht such as the Romanesque Basilica of Our Lady and the Gothic Sint-Janskerk, visit the leaning tower of Oude Kerk in Delft, and delve into the largest flower parade in the world, Bloemencorso Zundert – a spectacular annual event with an astonishing float competition. This is a country of far-reaching appeal with warm and welcoming locals everywhere you go, so delve into Holland on an escorted tour with Shearings.

Amsterdam
Canals
Adorned with gabled houses and crossed by charming bridges, Amsterdam’s 160+ canals are at the heart of the city’s charm. While exploring, don’t miss the famous floating flower market on the Singel canal – it’s blooming marvellous!
Museums
Culture lovers rejoice! Amsterdam is a treasure trove of quirky galleries and world-famous museums. The Rijksmuseum is a real Dutch masterpiece, packed with treasures artworks you’ll recognise from postcards and beyond. The Van Gogh Museum is a delight whether visited by day or Starry Night. And the moving Anne Frank House offers a poignant look at the city’s history.
Dam Square
Right in the heart of the action is Amsterdam’s hotspot: Dam Square. Home to the grand Royal Palace and the ever-popular Magna Plaza shopping centre, this city centre gem is an all-you-can-visit buffet of attractions. Fancy a bit of fun? Visit Madame Tussauds and snap a selfie with a celebrity or two.
Delft
Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk
Delft’s skyline is ruled by two towering titans: Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk! The Old Church leans just enough to earn the title ‘Holland’s Tower of Pisa’, while the New Church proudly boasts connections to the Dutch Royal Family.
De Porceleyne Fles
In a delightful time warp since the 1700s, De Porceleyne Fles serves up a splash of Blue Delftware history with a side of craftsmanship! Visitors can peek over the shoulders of talented artisans as they hand-paint ceramics or marvel at ancient treasures as they wander through the factory.
Delft Markt
Delft's main square is like a living postcard! With the eye-catching City Hall, a masterpiece by the illustrious Hendrick de Keyser, and the Nieuwe Kerk standing tall, this square is a vibrant hub for leisurely strolls and spontaneous shopping sprees!
Keukenhof Gardens
Flower Gardens
Each year in the Keukenhof Gardens, a whopping 7 million flower bulbs are lovingly planted by hand in the fall, ensuring a springtime explosion of colour. With over 800 varieties of tulips, it’s a spectacle that guarantees unforgettable photographs.
Shopping Opportunities
For the gardening enthusiasts, there’s plenty of opportunity to find inspiration, and even better, buy some of the amazing flowers you may see on your strolls through the gardens. The shops also offer Dutch gifts and souvenirs your loved ones will love!
Valkenberg
Gemeentegrot
With a résumé that includes WWII hideaway, chalk quarry, and nuclear fallout shelter, the Gemeentegrot (Municipal Cave) is a true jack-of-all-trades. And just when you think it couldn’t get any more exciting, it becomes Europe’s largest underground Christmas market in the winter season!
Castle Ruins
As the one and only hilltop castle in the country, Valkenburg Castle has been holding court since the 11th century! Visitors can explore its ancient ruins while imagining the many sieges that unfolded and enjoy panoramic views of the town below.
Old Town
Exploring the Old Town centre is like being in a painting come to life. Rustic restaurants offer hearty meals while independent shops beckon with their quirky trinkets. And who wouldn’t want to sip a frosty beer while observing the scenery?
Food and Drink
One of the best things about travelling? The food, of course! Every destination has its own favourites – the dishes locals swear by and visitors can’t stop talking about. To make things easier, we’ve picked out four must-try treats from this region, with a little flavour of what they’re all about.
So… which one’s making your mouth water?
Stamppot
Translating to “mash pot,” Stamppot is a comforting blend of potatoes and one other veg – often kale, cabbage or carrot – all mashed together into a rustic, rib-sticking mix. A juicy sausage or slice of bacon is often added on top for good measure.
Poffertjes
Tiny, fluffy, and totally moreish, poffertjes are a Dutch treat that’s hard to resist. Made with a traditional yeast batter, these mini pancakes are cooked until golden and puffed, then typically served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of syrup. Prefer something savoury? Try them with a slice of Gouda instead!
Erwtensoep
Erwtensoep is the Netherlands’ beloved split pea soup – a cold-weather staple that warms your soul. Made with split peas, root vegetables, and usually a generous helping of pork or smoked sausage, it’s traditionally served during the winter months – especially on New Year’s Day.
Stroopwafel
This thin, round waffle cookie is made from two delicate layers, held together with a rich caramel syrup and pressed to perfection in a hot iron. Best enjoyed warm from a street stall, the syrup softens and the whole thing becomes crisp, chewy and utterly irresistible!
