# Sign up for cruise test seat membership #HollandTravel #belgiumtravel This is my first trip to Europe, so I chose to take my family to the Netherlands and Belgium. The reason is that I heard that the Netherlands has very charming scenery and historical buildings, and Belgium is also a neighboring country, so I would like to visit it. The attractions we visited include Dam Square and one of the attractions: the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. It was originally used as the city hall and a symbol of the glory of Amsterdam in the past. You can buy tickets to appreciate the low-key luxury of the Dutch. It will definitely be eye-opening and worthwhile. this trip. If you still have time after visiting Dam Square and the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, you might as well take a walk in the East Canal District, which is the Red Light District and the Good Street area. This area is lively and has a completely different atmosphere from the West Canal District. You can experience the authentic Amsterdam common people's customs. . A trip to the Canal District is the highlight of Amsterdam's itinerary. The prosperity and wealth of Amsterdam are fully reflected in the low-key but noble canal houses. The canal houses on the Gentlemen's Canal, Königsal Canal and Prinsengracht canal beside the urban stream represent the development process of the city. It is also the main reason why Amsterdam is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. The Rijksmuseum (Rijksmuseum), located in the Museumplein outside Amsterdam's canal district, is one of my favorite museums, even more so than the Louvre in Paris, which is crowded with tourists. It also has some historical relics, such as Delft celadon and fine workmanship. model house, etc. After visiting the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum next to it has the richest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world, and the nearby Vondelpark is the largest park in Amsterdam. Rotterdam (Rotterdam), located in the southwest of the Netherlands, is the second largest city in the Netherlands, the largest port, and the largest port in Europe. It is named after the dam on the bank of the Rotte River, which is similar to the origin of the name Amsterdam. Due to the fact that the current city of Rotterdam was completely destroyed by the Nazi Luftwaffe during World War II (mainly The German bombing of Rotterdam/Rotterdam Blitz in 1940), it no longer has the antique street scene of the past. Instead, it has become an experiment for many new architectural concepts. field. The most important part of Rotterdam's itinerary is Kinderdijk, a world cultural heritage site located in the suburbs. It symbolizes the history of the Dutch people's struggle with the sea for land and takes about half a day. My most recommended attractions in the city are the Euromast and Boymans. The Van Beuningen Museum is also very good, and the Cube House, Market Square and Breedop Zoo are also very popular. Zaanse Schans, located north of Amsterdam, and Kinderdijk on the outskirts of Rotterdam are two major windmill attractions in the Netherlands, but they are different in nature. Kinderdijk symbolizes the past history of the Dutch fighting for land with the sea and is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. Therefore, it is a historical site to visit and is not too commercial. Zaanse Schans is different. Its windmills are specially planned tourist areas. , used to organize and preserve the windmill buildings in the surrounding area. The windmills were gradually placed here from neighboring areas in the 1970s. Bruges (Brugge/Bruges), located in West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is known as the Venice of the North and is also my most recommended Belgian attraction. Must-visit attractions include Bruges Bell Tower/Market Square, Castle Square, Rose Quay, The Lake of Love Park, the Atomium, etc., have completely preserved the medieval streets. The core area of ​​the old city is listed as a World Cultural Heritage and was also the European Capital of Culture in 2002. It takes about 3-3.5 hours to get from Amsterdam to Bruges by train or car. If you need to transfer in Brussels by train, it will be 0.5-1 hour slower than driving. Instead of worrying about arranging your itinerary and buying Guisensen train tickets, you really need to go It’s better to go with a group! Although the journey is very tiring, the travel time is only enough to get a glimpse of this ancient capital that is listed as a world cultural heritage. If you want to travel around Belgium, Bruges is your first choice! Summary: The Netherlands is neither big nor small. Amsterdam is located right at the core of the Netherlands’ tourist hotspots. There are abundant attractions in both urban and suburban areas. It is highly recommended to travelers who want to take a relaxing trip to Europe.
