Day trips from Amsterdam


 Share

Recommended Posts

We will be spending a few days in Amsterdam before our British Isle cruise in June. We are thinking of taking a day to go the The Hague and Delft. In addition to the pottery tour, what is recommended to see in these two towns?

 

We will also be taking a day trip to Zaanse Schans. Any other nearby towns that are a "must see"?

 

In Amsterdam we will be doing the usual museums, parks, canal tour, etc.

 

Thank you so much for recommendations. We have never been to Amsterdam before and we appreciate everyone's opinion.

Re Delft check this website. https://www.delft.nl/delften/Tourists

For The Hague: https://denhaag.com/en/tourist-office

In a nice sunny day a visit to Scheveningen, a beach resort is nice too.

The city of Haarlem is not too far from Amsterdam and is also very interesting. http://www.haarlemmarketing.co.uk/plan-your-visit/tourist-information-centre?_locale=en

We loved Haarlem. If you have ever read "The Hiding Place" the tour of Corrie Ten Boon's family home is quite interesting. We also loved a day trip we took to Horne and over to the ZuiderZee museum.

Delft is lovely. You could easily pass a day just exploring the town.

Thank you for the suggestion of the Ten Boon house. I hadn't realized she was from the Netherlands.
