From the Publisher
From deeply historic cities such as Haarlem, Leiden and Delft and the vibrant city of Rotterdam to the cosmopolitan wonders of Amsterdam and The Hague, Lonely Planet’s "Netherlands" is an indispensable guide, allowing you to experience all that the Netherlands has to offer. At the great museums of Den Haag you can see the masterpieces of Rembrandt and his contemporaries. Near Arnhem you can see one of the world’s finest collections of Van Gogh at a museum in the middle of a delightful national park. Amsterdam’s phenomenal and diverse nightlife is world-famous, but the Dutch countryside is another treat! The Dutch practically live on bicycles, so bike trails abound and Lonely Planet has mapped out the best of the best in "Netherlands". Happy trails!
