Psst… Amsterdam Is Just the Beginning!

Amsterdam’s charm is no secret—those dreamy canals, cosy cafés, world-famous art, and that electric energy around every corner.
But here’s the real tip: the magic doesn’t end at the city limits.

Hop on a train and in just 15 minutes, you’ll find yourself in Haarlem, a pint-sized Amsterdam with just as much charm (but fewer crowds!). Think cobbled streets, art museums, and the best stroopwafels you’ve ever had. Got a thing for design and future vibes? Eindhoven is only 1.5 hours away and feels like stepping into tomorrow—where creativity meets cool. Eindhoven is a design geek’s paradise—think Philips Museum meets Van Gogh-inspired light art. Rent a bike to Van Gogh Village (where he painted his first masterpiece). Or slow things down in Utrecht (just an hour) with its canals, historic towers, and chill energy that’s perfect for strolling and sipping. And for a real fairytale moment, visit Zaanse Schans—just 30 minutes away—for windmills, clogs, and classic Dutch countryside feels.

So yes, come for Amsterdam… but stay curious. The real adventure is just a train ride away.
