Rotterdam’s markets are amazing & definitely worth a visit! Head to Markthal hungry – there are four floors of food. The best way to visit is to try a bite from different stalls in a make-your-own foodie tour.
Hanging out near the Fenix Food Factory but want a site down meal? Head across the street to the cutest blue & white restaurant anywhere in Holland!
Villa Augusta’s service was very hit or miss the day I visited – food took forever to come out! But the view of the amazing garden & hotel was worth the wait. Grab a cheap glass of rose (or two) & enjoy the nice weather.
Tulips & Holland go hand in hand. Don’t want to carry them around the country? Bulbs & fresh cut tulips can be bought right at the airport. Can you imagine, though, sitting on an 8 hour flight with a bouquet of flowers on your lap?
Stroopwaffel tastes nothing like its American counterpart – & that’s a very good thing.
Make sure to get out of the city & explore the countryside – it’s beautiful & very accessible!
Dordrecht is the perfect place for wandering & getting lost. I think we were the only Americans there!
I love getting out into national parks when I travel. The best part of Holland’s are the electric boats that are easy to navigate.
Don’t skip Rotterdam! There’s so much more to Holland than Amsterdam.

Holland is an astonishing destination, Christina! I’ve lived there for 2 years and it is probably the most beautiful place on Earth!

I think it quickly accelerated to my “I think I need to move here” list on my trip.
