The Netherlands: Beyond Amsterdam
Рет қаралды 9,147,923
Күн бұрынRick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | By train, bike, and boat, we visit the top Dutch sights outside of Amsterdam: from Haarlem to Rotterdam, and from Delft to the Zuiderzee. Along the way, we enjoy charming towns with fragrant cheese markets, soggy polderland, mighty dikes, and windmills both new and old. Rolling through the Netherlands and connecting with its people, you can’t help but think, “Everything’s so...Dutch!” #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #netherlands

After living in Holland for more than 18 years, two weeks ago I boarded a train to start a new life in Berlin, Germany. Sitting next to me was a very old Dutch man who was very warm, sharp and intelligent, we talked all the way until Hannover. When he stepped out of the train, only then I realised how bad I'd miss Holland. After all this years, they became "my people".

There are subsidies for structural problems but they will not cover the costs. Actually a lot of those buildings are rented out and not owned by the people who live there. If you own such a place there are many regulations up to the color and design of your front door. As we call it here: a protected city view (beschermd stadsgezicht). On the insight of the building you are allowed to change to your liking as long as it has no negative structural consequences.

I went for Summer in 2015, with my family, for a month. It was potentially the greatest experience of my life. So great that we ventured there again for another month the following year. Such a beautiful country with beautiful people. So kind-hearted and helpful. Almost all of the population that we'd come across spoke English, and fluent English at that too. The country boasts some fantastic museums. We explored Amsterdam many a time and explored a lot of the city. We explored some cities other than Amsterdam, of course; in fact, the exact same ones shown in the video, minus Zuiderzee. I think it's also worth mentioning how stunning the beaches are. Unfortunately, didn't get to swim, because it was the final day of our trip there, but the beaches were absolutely clean. I feel the beaches there are a little underestimated. I'll definitely visit it the next time I get the chance. Love you, Netherlands.

Mark R. I'll keep that in mind but I have to disagree about New York. NYC feels different from all other American cities with big avenues, everybody driving cars, no pedestrians, clean but empty boxy small downtown with big suburbs. Whereas, NYC is full of small alleys, cobblestone streets, old churches, old buildings, alive with diversity not only in the people, but the buildings and neighborhoods. The buildings are iconic, the street signs are iconic, the subway system is iconic, and each neighborhood is different. You have the artsy neighborhoods of lower Manhattan, and Brooklyn. The posh and classy neighborhoods around the central park. Then you have the real live immigrant neighborhoods with real authentic food and stuff (not tourist traps like the chinatown in london). You really have to be in NYC, experience all the little things to fall in love with it. If you just do the typical daily tour, then Yea that can be boring. I'm born and raised around this city and it is anything but boring.

I'm American and my gf is Dutch, and I recently got to go to the Netherlands and visit her family for the first time and I got to say, Dutch people are some of the kindest people I have ever gotten the experience to meet. The country itself is just so beautiful, I can't wait to go back. I guess it's kind of a coincidence my gf is Dutch because I have a lot of Dutch ancestors, so I've always been fascinated by the history and culture of the Netherlands. I was there for 2 months so I got to see a lot but I still have way more to see and experience. I would absolutely love to live there some day. Amazing video!

@Adeeis 9 жыл бұрын
I am admitting to the spelling mistakes. But there was a 's' in place of 'z', and in many languages u pronounce 's' in 'z' sound if the comes in mid or till end of the word, especially in European languages. Just one letter which isnt changing sound, is a very minor mistake for non-native. Also there is a difference in British and American English, one uses 's' and other 'z' in for some words.

The show is not fully for the guys who will eventually tour the place themselves. The rick steves tour books are for them who travel and there is much more detail in the book than there can be in just a 20 odd minute program. The tv show is for everyone, the books are for those who actually visit/ travel Europe from far.

It was nice to see the snow, but the sky was always grey and the streets and fields covered with snow and ice. I must visit this country again in summer or spring, when it is colorful and joyful.
