Visit Utrecht

Visit Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands. Cruise the UNESCO-listed canal ring (17th-century waterways with over 1,500 bridges), see masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, explore the Anne Frank House (historic hiding place during WWII), and wander the Jordaan district (picturesque streets with cafes and boutiques).

Visit Rotterdam, a modern Dutch city known for innovative architecture and maritime heritage. See the Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen) designed by Piet Blom, walk across the Erasmus Bridge (iconic cable-stayed bridge nicknamed 'The Swan'), explore the Markthal (indoor food market with a massive ceiling mural), and visit the Maritime Museum (historic ships and port history).

Visit The Hague, the seat of government and royal family of the Netherlands. Explore the Binnenhof (historic complex housing the Dutch Parliament since the 13th century), see the Peace Palace (home to the International Court of Justice and iconic for its role in global law), and admire the Mauritshuis museum (featuring Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' and other Dutch Golden Age masterpieces). Stroll along Scheveningen Beach (a popular seaside resort with a long pier and lively promenade).

Glide the 17th-century canal ring past gabled merchant houses, houseboats and 1,500 bridges — the city as it was meant to be seen.

Visit Antwerp, a historic port city in Belgium. Explore the Cathedral of Our Lady (home to four Rubens masterpieces and a 123-meter Gothic spire), stroll through the Grote Markt (Renaissance town hall and guildhalls), see the MAS Museum (riverfront building with panoramic views and maritime collections), and try local dishes like stoofvlees (beef stew) and Antwerpse handjes (almond cookies).

Visit Bruges, the medieval city in Belgium. Explore the historic Markt square (dominated by the 13th-century Belfry with 366 steps and carillon bells), take a boat tour along the picturesque canals (often called the 'Venice of the North'), see Michelangelo's Madonna and Child sculpture in the Church of Our Lady, and sample local treats like chocolate and Belgian waffles from shops like The Chocolate Line.

Vermeer's canals, Delft Blue pottery and the tomb of William of Orange in the New Church.

Rembrandt's birthplace and the oldest university in the Netherlands, with canals quieter than Amsterdam's.
