Day 1 Amsterdam

Overview

 
select to open Amsterdam pictures - Opens a dialog

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are numerous bike paths.

Day 2 Harlingen/Netherlands

Overview

 
select to open Harlingen/Netherlands pictures - Opens a dialog

Harlingen is a dynamic, historic seaport and two rural villages in a setting of sea, sky and green landscape. Billowing clouds sweep the inland. The sea glitters under shafts of sunlight and seagulls are hanging in the wind over the expansive dyke which protects the green land behind it. Between land and sea: Harlingen. From whatever side you approach the town, the striking silhouette of its two spires can always be seen from afar. Outlined against a wide expanse of sea, land and sky. Harlingen has a close bond with the sea and shipping. The ebb and flow of the tide still predominates the old harbours in the town centre. Cargo vessels from Russia, Scandinavia or England, ferries to the islands of Terschelling and Vlieland, fishing boats, traditional sailing ships and modern yachts contribute to the bustle of activity in the harbours. Port cranes, ship building and repair yards are also a characteristic of the skyline of Harlingen. At night, the twinkling red and green lights of the buoys marking the navigation channel to the islands and the North Sea, can be seen from the jetty. Beams of light from the lighthouses on the islands blink on the horizon. Closer by, to the east, bright light emanates from the shipyards, the gas processing plant and fishing boats unloading their catch at the fish auction. Work goes on day and night. If you turn your back to the sea, the warm lights of the town can be seen reflected in the water of the old harbour. The historic centre has numerous monuments such as merchants houses, warehouses, the town hall, churches, canals and bridges. The old pattern of streets and alleyways determines the character of the intimate town centre. Gradually Harlingen expanded. The harbours became larger, more industry settled here and modern residential areas arose to the south of the railway line leading to the provincial capital, Leeuwarden. East of the town, wedged between the Leeuwarden-Amsterdam motorway and Van Harinxmakanaal, lies the new Oostpoort industrial site. The port and industrial activities are also expanding in a northerly direction. Harlingen is therefore not only a typical, historic Dutch town, but also a dynamic and modern port. A town surrounded by sea, land and sky, a good place to live, work and spend one's leisure time.

Day 4 Nijmegen

Overview

 
select to open Nijmegen pictures - Opens a dialog

Nijmegen sits on the south bank of the river Waal, near the Dutch border with Germany. At a hundred feet (31.6 m) in elevation, it stands well over the delta flatland, which is why Nijmegen has such a long history. The Romans liked it, when they moved in amongst the Batavians. Nijmegen became a city, a major trading center and military outpost. Well, it wasn't an outpost—it was part of the empire. The "great rivers" passing below to the North ensured that this was the extent of that empire. Today, Nijmegen is one of the few places in Holland where visitors could go too fast downhill on a bicycle.

Day 5 Willemstad

Overview

 
select to open Willemstad pictures - Opens a dialog

Willemstad is a wonderful place to spend your time. Located at the meeting of the Hollandsdiep and the Haringvliet, Willemstad is the location of many strategic battles, both 400 years ago and 50 years ago in WWII. During the tourist season Willemstad is a crowded place. Some people come by car or bicycle, but many more come with a boat, yacht or ship. Willemstad is a quaint interesting town with great beauty and historical significance. The key attractions are the WWII bunkers, the much older town walls built with a geometric shape, the main street with all the bars, the windmill, the harbor, the arsenal building, a lock, a geometric church surrounded by a moat and finally Mauritshuis. Mauritshuis was the palace of William the Silent, and today houses a VVV office and a museum. There are some paintings and an upstairs attic with reminders of an earlier time in Willemstad. While there are many things to see, it might only take an hour or two.

Day 6 Rotterdam

Overview

 
select to open Rotterdam pictures - Opens a dialog

Nowadays Rotterdam is a vital part of the economy of the Netherlands. The Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in the world with a total throughput of about 300 million metric tons a year provides a solid base for industry in and around the Rotterdam area. Its population is about 575000, which makes it one of the largest cities in the Netherlands, but the number of people that work in the Rotterdam area or are otherwise economically dependent of it exceeds that number by far. The density of population is among the highest in the Netherlands, exceeding 4000 per square kilometer. Shipping, storage and forwarding are of course among the most important activities in the region, but the port of Rotterdam has also created a large chemical industry, which is fully dependent upon the transport facilities for the inflow of crude oil and the shipping of the various refined end products. Large petrochemical plants have sprung up, especially on the south bank of the Maas. These plants are in operation 24 hours a day. The development of Europoort ('Euro gate') started in 1957. A large complex of ports and industrial areas was created between Rotterdam and the entry to the North Sea. When more space was needed, the Maasvlakte ('Maas Flats') was created. By means of dikes, dams and sand deposits the coast line was altered to include many square kilometers of newly created land, where the Petroleum Harbors, container terminals, ore terminals and the Maasvlakte power plant are located. An interesting feature is the 'disaster area', a training complex where fire brigades train to cope with large-scale industrial accidents. The complex includes a grounded tanker that is set on fire several times a day. The name Europoort suggests that Rotterdam wanted to become the gateway to Europe. By 1963 this suggestion had become outdated, because in that year Rotterdam could claim to be the largest port in the world, a record that it still holds. In fact, the Berge Stahl, a 365000 ton ore carrier, is fully dependent on the port of Rotterdam, since this is the only port on the European continent that this ship (with its 23m/75ft draught) can access. After the flood in 1953 a large project was initiated to prevent such floodings in the future. This project, the 'Delta plan', involved stronger and higher dikes and numerous flood barriers. The latest of those flood barriers to be completed was the storm surge barrier in the Nieuwe Waterweg near Hoek van Holland. Two enormous doors mounted on swing arms can be used to close off the Nieuwe Waterweg, should storm and high water require so in order to protect the country from flooding. Normally the doors are open, so as not to impede the flow of ships through the Nieuwe Waterweg. Building and development have become a way of life for Rotterdam. The city has continued to grow, and it shows no signs of slowing down. And although this constant increase of population, urbanization and development all breed their own problems, Rotterdam is ready for the next millennium. As the economic heart of the Netherlands, with a population heading towards 600000, it had better be ready.
