I would say the Netherlands has a plethora of iconic cultural spots, from the canals of Amsterdam, to the blooming tulip fields in Spring, to the windmills of Kinderd Rijk – the latter now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Netherlands also possesses a thriving historical arts scene, boasting some of the world’s greatest artists and their works within its borders. The Rijks museum in Amsterdam is a must-see for masterpieces, such as Vermeer’s ‘The Milkmaid’ (c.1660) and Rembrandt’s ‘Isaac and Rebecca’ (1661). A range of smaller museums further celebrate Dutch art and culture, opening it up to the public – the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam exhibits the eponymous artists famed ‘Sunflowers’ (1889), while the Royal Delft factory allows a glimpse of the process behind the iconic Delft ceramics via tours and workshops.
