Located at Scheveningen Pier is the Netherlands' first Ferris wheel, which hovers over the sea and offers spectacular views of the 11 km long beach and the skyline of The Hague. A ride on the Ferris wheel takes about 20 minutes. The enclosed cabins are air-conditioned. Tickets for the Ferris wheel can be purchased online.

De Pier in The Hague is a vibrant and iconic destination that offers a truly memorable experience on the Dutch coast. The location combines beautiful views of the North Sea, unique attractions like the Ferris wheel over the water, and a lively boardwalk with something for everyone, from foodies to thrill-seekers. The panoramic views from De Pier are simply breathtaking, whether you're enjoying a drink on the terrace, savoring local cuisine at one of the restaurants, or taking a ride on the Ferris wheel. Watching the sunset over the beach from this spot is an unforgettable highlight. De Pier is a must-visit when in The Hague. Whether you're after beautiful ocean views, great food and drinks, or some thrilling activities, you'll leave with wonderful memories and a desire to return.

⭐ De Pier – A must-visit by the sea! Absolutely loved my time at De Pier! 🌊 Beautiful views of the North Sea, cool ocean breeze, and a lively boardwalk full of food, drinks, and fun activities. Whether you’re looking to relax, take amazing photos, or just enjoy a nice walk over the water – this place is perfect. Bonus: there’s even a bungee jump and Ferris wheel for thrill-seekers! 🎡 Great spot to spend an afternoon – highly recommended!

De Pier in Scheveningen offers a fantastic mix of seaside fun and great views. The long pier stretching out over the North Sea provides a unique setting for a stroll, with plenty of food stalls, cafés and the highlight: the Ferris wheel and bungee‑/zip‑line activities. On the practical side: the weather and wind can really impact comfort (bring a jacket!), and some visitors feel parts of the pier are showing their age, especially upstairs and in the facilities. Overall: a lively, photo‑worthy destination that works well for an afternoon out by the sea.

De Pier is a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the sea view. The atmosphere is lively, and the ocean breeze makes it even more relaxing. A must-visit spot in The Hague!

Nice 2 level pier. Top level has a few shops, stairs to lower level, and at the end is the bungee jumping and wheel. lower level is shops and seating, lover level is inside. -i walked along the top, then got fish and chips lunch inside.

Beautiful place to walk on / through or by when visiting the beach. > Great view from any place on the Pier with many areas to take a break and sit down. > Many stores and things to look at, to do or food to eat. > Horribly communicated opening and closing times / path ways, being the only downside. Oh and great to stay under if you need shelter from the sun!

I absolutely loved this place. The simulations were so amazing. I lo ed the historic stories told and the entire set up, is genius. A great place for kids but for adults alike. Its so interesting and there is so much to see, time will pass by and you would have spent almost an entire day. The best time to go is from when they open at 10.

It's a fun place to see the highly detailed miniature Dutch, Amsterdam - cityscapes, buildings, architecture, churches, airports, wind farms, wind mills, Canal systems, functional railway track and different trains running around, traffic vehicles moving on the road, ships, boats moving in the water... It was a fun time.. different big bridges recreated where it feels like a small overpass that you walk on, it's a fun get away

Whatta love place to have meal after a fantastic exploration of the Holland miniature park! I highly recommend this tourist spot in the Netherland, The gardens are beautiful well maintained and well worth it a must to see. Brilliant place I was enjoying every single moment there. Toilets are clean. Staffs are lovely and friendly.

Great experience for adults and kids. Plenty of interactive setups to keep the kids engaged and interested, while admiring the great miniature cities. There are also other experiences scattered within the park. Good - clean - interactive and engaging activities - park for kids and adults - impressive miniature landmarks - facilities (toilets, restaurants, playgrounds)

Madurodam was my favorite experience during my entire trip to the Netherlands. I loved exploring the miniature versions of Dutch cities and landmarks. It felt like traveling through the whole country in just a few hours. My favorite parts were steering the ships through the canals, controlling the helicopter, and interacting with the fun exhibits like attracting the fishes. The park is very well designed, with so many details that bring Dutch history, architecture, and culture to life. It’s both educational and entertaining, making it a great place for families, couples, or solo travelers. I would recommend it as one of the first stops for tourists visiting the Netherlands. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Parking was a little pricey, but that might just be my perspective as a visitor from abroad. Overall, I would definitely like to return and see it again.

Loved it, what a wonderful piece of art, that Is amazing, every zone has its own beauty, moreover nothing is less but plane ✈️ experience inside it is out standing, a must go place to bring you child here. There is also a shall canteen to have some light snacks and a souvenir shop is also there to bring some gifts. Overall a wonderful experience, but remember you must spare enough time to go there because it needs almost half day to complete it properly if you are a detail lover.

highly recommend a visit, there are several machines you can pay to get miniatures out, we got a tulip pin bash and there is a mini mars bar factory that gives you 2 mini mars bars, they take cash and card. we would definitely visit again, came as part of a bus tour and got 1.5hrs and unfortunately wasn’t long enough to see everything in detail, would definitely visit again

The 360 painting mixed with real objects give you such a surreal experience. Spend your time to take a look at the painting. The details on the painting is amazing. We are looking it wasn't busy so we get to really see the whole thing. Personally I do think its worth the 16 just to see this painting. Don't forget there are also other exhibition on ground floor. The place is not big though.

Panorama Mesdag is the largest painting in the Netherlands. The museum's collection includes the works of Mr. and Mrs. Mesdag, both painters. One hall is allocated to temporary exhibitions. The panorama is beautiful and realistic, you feel like you actually live in the 19th century. Definitely recommended.

This is a really interesting art museum. The Panorama painting is vast and the setup where the viewer is in a kind of beach lookout hut which looks out over real sand and beach props which cleverly stretch out to trick the eye into thinking you're shortage actually in the painting for real

This one is a must experience. One of the most impressive works of art I've ever seen. Until 14 sept 2025 also an very impressive expo from Scarlett Hooft Graafland. Enjoy🙏🙏🙏

Very nice experience with panorama painting. They also have exhibitions sometimes.

This was understated brilliance! There are 3 rooms of paintings by Mesdag and his wife, very good introduction to the artist. Then you head through the dark passage and up the spiral staircase and you gasp at the amazing panorama. It takes you back in time as if you are there. Extraordinary! 🤯

I was a little hesitant at first about coming here leery about the cost being worth it. I worried for nothing as usual - it is an amazing world class work of art.

Visited Mauritshuis, a very well-known museum located in The Hague, near the Binnenhof. The first interesting thing I learned is that Mauritshuis actually means “Maurits’ house”, which is quite fascinating! However, behind the beauty of the building, the story of how its fortune was built is not entirely pleasant. However I won’t spoil it, because you should visit and find out yourself! This museum is also home to the iconic “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer. Fun fact: we might not even be sure it’s an earring, as it doesn’t appear to be hooked! Another remarkable painting is “View of Delft”, also by Vermeer, which holds a special place in my heart since we live nearby and it carries meaningful memories. We even bought a puzzle of that painting, surprisingly affordable for something sold in such a prestigious museum! During our visit, there was also a live Q&A about painting restoration, where they were working on “The Bull” by Paulus Potter. It was fascinating to see how restoration combines art, material and chemical engineering, ethics, and history. For instance, The Bull was taken during the French occupation of the Netherlands, and at some point, a nail scratch was added to the painting. The big question is: do you fix it, restore it, or keep it as part of history? You decide! You can also download the Mauritshuis app and enjoy a free audio guide directly from your phone. I recommend bringing your own headset for the best experience. Overall, a truly great and thought-provoking experience, so I highly recommended!

A small but nice museum with a collection of beautiful paintings. I went there to see the Girl with the Pearl Earring. It was interesting to watch experts clean up one of the paintings. Staff are friendly & helpful, the museum & facilities are clean and the shop has nice souvenirs. You can buy your tickets at the reception as well as leave your coat and bags.

On a per square foot basis, this relatively small museum in the Hague might be the very best art museum in the world. The number of amazing masterpieces from the Dutch is nothing short of stunning. The ability to get close to them is even more wonderful, although people have to abuse this privilege by trying to vandalize the paintings with desserts and other terrible things. From start to finish, we were absolutely stunned by the quality and intimacy of this place. That someone who doesn’t even love art all that much, I fell in love with it.

We were iffy about going here but saw it listed as maybe the top attraction in den Haag we ponied up and I enjoyed the very impressive detail of so many paintings from around 1600s then seeing Rubens and Rembrandt I was able to see what made them different and special - luminescence and stuff so that was interesting. To save walking up the steps there is a lift but the trick is the button is on top of the post outside not on the wall so if you’re looking on the wall you’ll never find the button for the lift.

The Mauritshuis is a beautifully curated museum with an exceptional collection, including several world-famous paintings like Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring and Rembrandt’s The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. The galleries are intimate and thoughtfully arranged, which makes it easy to appreciate each masterpiece up close. However, the museum is quite small, and the ticket price feels a bit high for the amount of time you can comfortably spend inside. Even so, the quality of the artwork and the elegance of the building make it a memorable and worthwhile visit.

We spent a Saturday evening here, 2hours before closing! It was the perfect amount of time we needed for our weekend in The Hague! What a showstopper museum!! Gorgeous building, and the art is just marvellous 🤩 The girl with the pearl earring was just the icing on the cake! The display of the restoration of one of the pieces was very enjoyable! Thank you 🙏🏾 Highly recommended!

Loved this gallery in elegant former residential home. Came to The Hague to see The Goldfinch, he didn't disappoint! Also The Girl With The Pearl Earring, she was very beautiful. View of Delft was breathtaking. Obviously my phone photos do not do them justice.

Amazing artworks told and explained very well. I especially enjoyed the method which documented Escher's life and work - very elegant. The decision to display his works in the palace was well made, the architecture is splendid and wonderous.

If you're into architectural signs, you'll be amazed—it's like stepping into this museum! Truly stunning and beyond your wildest dreams. I spent two hours there, but honestly, it wasn’t enough to take in all the amazing creativity. It’s absolutely fantastic!

I personally find the designs inspirational and so different from other art. The intricate carving of wood for the prints is amazing and must have taken so much time and effort to achieve that I find his designs awe-inspiring and beautifully detailed. The museum, housed in the mansion of Queen Emma of the Netherlands is interesting in it's own right and worth seeing, so you get 2 for the price of 1! Definitely worth a visit!

This place bends your brain in the best way possible. It’s M.C. Escher, so yes, the famous “stairs that go nowhere” are here, along with loads of other works (including some I’d never seen before). Honestly, I half expected to walk out of the museum upside down. The ticket price is refreshingly reasonable (rare in The Hague, where even a coffee can feel like modern art). I’d definitely go again. Tip: go in the morning, there’s so much to see that if you arrive late, your head will be spinning from illusions and from fatigue. Bring curiosity, maybe a coffee, and prepare to wonder if the gift shop exit is actually the entrance.

Beautiful museum! Extensive collection and enjoyed the interactive parts at the end on the top floor. They have free lockers for your bags, a cafe downstairs, and clean bathrooms.

All round good exhibit in an historic house. Who doesn't love Escher? If you don't, this isn't for you. If you do you'll find lots of prints and background. Many of the prints are marked "eigen druk" which means "my own print." Would have been nice if they'd cracked a few windows... Lockers are in basement and use fake coins they hand out. Bathroom was decent.

The museum is located in a former palace. During your visit, you can not only view an exceptional collection of Escher’s works, but also learn more about the royal family and their way of life. The exhibition display is well thought out.

Sore feet warning - but there are plenty of places to sit down to rest along the way. We spent three hours here - even my partner who was not interested in cars was quite absorbed - the most pre-1900 cars I’ve seen - the earliest hybrid electric - the earliest electric cars - an amazing variety in history. After that we needed a break but the on-site cafe while looking like Disneyland was disappointing. The Dutch snack plate recommended by the waiter was four deep fried potato croquettes, two deep fried chicken nuggets, maybe four tiny spring rolls of cheese and some potato crisps from a packet - not impressive. I had a white beer which also didn’t taste that good to me.

This museum is a great collection starting from the very beginning of building cars, transitioning horse wagons into motorized vehicles. A beautiful building this collection will blow your mind while you walk from one room into the next and find another treasure. It is possible to see everything in two hours walk, but if you prefer to have a better understanding of all the cars, you can easily fill up a whole day within the museum. There is as well restaurants, which looks very cozy. Overall, the experience is Really great.

Great experience. It is perhaps one of its kind! Really impressive. Some suggestions: the entrance is quite crammed with one person doing everything and no space. Also would be interesting to add how much the vehicles cost at their time and the equivalent for our days. I think it can show us how accessible the cars were for common people. Anyways it was amazing!

Really a very wonderful museum. Thought about going there for years but didn't do it till today because I thought it was expensive, small and focussed on on a few rarity cars. Boy was I wrong! The external images of the museum makes it look ehh, not large. But in reality it is. It also has 3 (!) floors. Most of the collection covers the era between 1890 till the 1960's which I really like. I wish some of the colours on these cars where available today, just marvelous. Also a lot of cars with a special place in history, a Cadillac owned by Elvis Presley, the Austin martin db5 from James Bond Goldfinger. Both cars from the British film Genevieve (which I just watched and loved). Two cars from The godfather and a lot more. Must not forget to mention the cafe which is indoors but designed like let's say a village square. Simple but lovely. Lots of eye candy. In short, don't be deceived by the external shots which make it it feel small. The place is huge and in it's own a really wonderful building, but go there and be amazed!!

Best museum I have ever visited. Cleverly designed path keep your attention, there is a piece of collection that you can relate to in every corner and it's not just cars. You can find old fuel pump, car toys, biycles, everything that is related to transportation. I highly reccomend the Museum.

What a great Museum! Incredible collection of automotive history in a stunning building. Well worth the visit and super friendly staff.

A suprisingly huge car collection everyone should see, and I would especially like to adress petrol heads like me. As far as I understood, this is a museumificated personal collection. Mr. Louwman was busy living my dreams. I admire the way it is presented. Honestly, I wouldn’t expect a personal collection to be so professionally presented. If you try to read each and every information card, then you will definitely need a second day. Since I didn’t have an extra day to spare (but I wish I did), I started skipping readings until I came across a car I am particularly drawn after the second half of the day when I realized I won’t be able to finish if I read all of them. I really wonder how all sort of cars ended up at Mr. Louwman. The cars are so lively that even old cars have trays full of sand to prevent oil spill on the floor and most of the sand in tray is stained, just think of it. My fascination also continued at the restaurant place. It was designed as if you are on the street, sitting at a restaurant or cafe and having what you have ordered whilst gazing into surrounding streets, cars and shops. I have two minor comments, firstly, the audio tour that was implemented through Spotify seems to be a good idea, however not everyone may be a user and more importantly the intensity of content wasn’t able to keep pace with the collection itself. Needs to be developed. Secondly, the shop was a bit weak when I again think of the museum itself. I, as a petrol head, had anticipated to buy at least a tshirt and a book after such a museum, however I was left with bare hands. A final saying about the surroundings, I unexpectedly went 30 minutes earlier than the opening time, so I went for a walk in the park. That is one magnificent walking route that one can’t expect right next to a museum. I even saw a deer running and couldn’t make a photo of it. So you may consider having a walk there and encounter with wild life before or after your museum visit.

At beginning, I don’t like this outlet. But now its atmosphere is better and its decorated more beautiful. The Shops are well arranged and the prices are reasonable! Also love the special water facilities for doggies. There are enough free parking place nearby the outlet.

Great place to find some decent bargains. We enjoyed shopping here and managed to get some great stuff on sale. It's family friendly and has enough parking! Will definitely make another trip there, even though it's a bit far to travel!

Great place for shopping! 🛍️ Lots of well-known brands with good discounts, from fashion to sportswear. The outlet is clean, cozy and not too crowded compared to bigger outlets. Easy parking right next to the center and several nice cafés and restaurants for a break. Perfect spot for a day trip if you love shopping!

You would be able to find some good deals here on your shopping mainly on the sportswear brands. Not many stores but easy to browse thru what is available without getting tired. There are places to sit and relax in the middle and there are few option around for dining.

We went to the Loccitane store for the first time recently, and the prices were really noticeable. It's definitely cheaper. The store selection is quite good. There aren't many places to eat and drink. There aren't many luxury stores. You should definitely check out the stores before you come. We loved it. We'll definitely come back if needed.

The atmosphere feels relaxed and inviting, not too hectic, and the layout makes browsing easy. I scored some great deals at well-known stores like Nike and Tommy Hilfiger, and enjoyed a tasty lunch along the way. The staff struck me as friendly and helpful. All in all, it’s the perfect spot for a spontaneous shopping spree.

If you live nearby, you can stop by, but I don't think it's worth a 1-2 hour drive. There aren't many shops, parking is charged, and there weren't any attractive discounts

A beautiful place with mirrors, lots of colours and really big dolls (real man/woman etc) what a surprise and a treat!

The Most beautiful Passage I have ever Seen! It's worth to visit it!

Probably the best decorated part of the Roosendaal shopping centre, though the shops themselves are a bit of a let-down. Many open spots, the shops that ARE there are mostly fit for women only ;) Milano at the centre is a lovely place to eat!

Beautiful place!

When visiting Roosendaal, the Passage is definitely a must-see. It's unique decor leaves a good impression, unfortunately several stores are shutting down. For someone living in Roosendaal, the Passage feels fake and overall it's not perceived a a succesful project. However, it's still a must-see when visiting.

I was only using it as a shortcut, but, as shortcuts go, it's one of the best.

If you like camp, this is for you. A fake Italian shopping centre with dummies singing and a fake Columbus proclaiming his success. Too bad so many of the shops are vacant.

A must! Incredible views. We went up just before sunset and then after sunset, we had a drink and A DELICIOUS AND GENEROUS portion of their fries with truffle mayo and parmesan, so worth it. After that we went back out to experience the views of the lights. It's like 3 experiences in 1. Highly recommend it to locals and tourists.

The waiter was pretty rude! One of the waitresses got us a table with a nice view but that was all of the good experience. We waited 20 minutes to order and when the waiter came he told us that table has a reservation and we had to move to another one so we left the restaurant.

Great open view of the Rotterdam city. 360° view available. Unfortunatelly service in the restaurant was not so good. Although mostly empty we were tild we cant be served lunch because they didnt have staff. Other people were served. We left and wouldnt recommend the restaurant.

Was great to br able to see Rotterdam from such a height and there is a small video you watch to show the history of Rotterdam. Would have been better if they had signs to show what you are looking at once you are on the viewing platform. Instead there is a QR code you can scan and then you are supposed to be able to point your camera at things and it will tell you what it was, however it doesn't work well at all. You also have to buy a more expensive ticket to go to the highest point. They also do abseiling down the Euromast which wasn't widely advertised.

I put 3 stars for the fact that we paid a lot of money for just a couple of short video clips explaining about the city. I thought we would get a better experience for the amount of money we paid. I was disappointed. But the view was great, for that reason I didnt make it 1 or 2 stars :)

Worth the money, views on top are breathtaking. Be sure to dress warmly if you go for the Euroscoop ride in November as you may have to wait outside for 7 min.

A moment suspended between sky and earth. The Euromast restaurant offers a culinary experience as memorable as the view that accompanies it. Each dish reflects a refined balance of flavors and a meticulous presentation, enhanced by discreet and attentive service. The panorama over Rotterdam, especially at sunset, lends the whole experience an atmosphere that is both intimate and spectacular. An exceptional address perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring the Dutch art of living with elegance.

The hotel has a beautiful location, which is a great plus. However, the rooms were disappointing, with small and uncomfortable beds, leading to a low rating of 4/10 for the room. The reception service was decent, with a rating of 8/10. On the downside, the attitude of one of the kitchen staff members was very poor. There was a noticeable lack of respect for both guests and colleagues at the reception, which significantly impacted the overall experience. The breakfast selection was limited, but it was what I expected given the nature of the hotel. The hotel itself appears old, though it has been renovated. There is parking available for guests, which is a positive feature. I arrived late in the evening, but the reception staff, particularly the Syrian employee, were extremely welcoming and professional, making the check-in process pleasant. Conclusion: Despite the nice location and good reception staff, I do not plan to stay at this hotel again due to the uncomfortable beds and poor service from certain staff members.

Cleanliness was a major concern during my stay. Unfortunately, this was the least clean hotel I have ever experienced. There were stains on the curtains, stained fingerprints on the walls, and lip marks on the mugs and glasses. The chairs and telephone were also dusty and dirty. I ended up having to do the cleaning myself, as otherwise I would have found it very difficult to remain in the room. What made this particularly disappointing is that the marks on the walls and the stains on the mugs and glasses could have been removed with just a little care. This reflects poorly on the housekeeping standards. I did not request a room change, as I did not believe it would have made much difference. The soundproofing was also very poor — I could clearly hear conversations from the neighbouring room, and each time a door closed in the corridor my bed actually shook. In addition, I did not find the blue lighting in the bathroom pleasant, and the shower temperature was inconsistent. Overall, I am sorry to say that this was a very disappointing stay.

This is the classic holiday inn express. Predictable as always. There are no surprises here as well and you can not go wrong with this place as a business traveller for a short stay. The checkin experience was smooth. The staff very helpful. I had the keys of my room in my hand in no time. The rooms were the same holiday inn express rooms. Minimalist! But everything works. I always miss a wardrobe, a place to keep my suitcase, a safe to keep the passport and a mini refrigerator. It would be so great if somehow the design incorporated at least a safe and a place to keep the suitcase, so that you don't live of the suitcase on the floor. The TV is the size of a small computer monitor. Most computer monitors available now are bigger than the TV here and that needs to change. The breakfast is included as a part of the package for everyone and is great. It's not an elaborate spread. It's the same menu everyday, but no real complaints here. The one challenge with this place is that there isn't a proper place to board a cab or get out of one. The only place for one to do this is in the bus lane near a bus stop and that is complex. But I guess most people will just take a train. The place is very conveniently located near the Rotterdam central station. There are a number of very good places to eat within a short walking distance. I would strongly recommend a stay here.

It's a relatively comfortable hotel, but with a few faults. First our room was not made up in the morning, towels not changed. We complaint to the reception unfortunately they don't have any idea about it. Secondly the room telephone doesn't have a cord so it isn't working (see my photo). Thirdly the bed was too soft sinking to the middle. Having said all these, breakfast was good, location is fantastic, it's only about 200 yards from the central station.

Hotel is in a great location with train station, tram, shopping and restaurants within walkable distance. Having stayed in the hotel for close to a month, my husband and I were super disappointed. This is the worst customer experience we had with an IHG hotel chain. Room has very poor sound proofing. Even though we did not opt for the green option, bed linen were not changed daily. Hotel staff told us it’s only changed every 4 days (which is for the green option). Our room was also not made up on one day. And we could see the floor was not vacuumed for days as remnants were found. Instead of taking ownership and solving the issue, staff at the reception just pointed the problem to the housekeeping team. No apology was given at the very instant the issue was raised to her. She even offered to give us the bed linen expecting us to change by ourselves. Bathroom was not well cleaned. And we had sink that was choked. And bathroom was closed to being choked after 22 days of stay. Staff at the reception told us it’s a 3-stars hotel so it’s old and things might not work. Facial tissue was not replenished during housekeeping. When we requested for it, we were told to get it from the reception Housekeeping team left unwanted stuff such as extra pillow case, garbage bag, cleaning cloth, etc in the room. In our opinion, the hotel amenities are not that old. It’s the attitude and level of engagement and service of the team that caused the issues. Feedback to hotel there is a strong cigarette smell at the same floor and no action was taken to address it. Breakfast also lacked varieties and remained very much the same daily. We had to depart very early for our flight so we settled the bills the night before. No one communicated that we could arrange breakfast takeaway until we handed the key cards back to the hotel. We requested to talk to the GM but he did not respond to our request. In summary, the leadership, service and operations have huge room for improvement as evident by our personal experience. IHG group should seriously take the feedback from google reviews and strive to improve the overall service levels.

We chose this hotel solely for its location, but what we experienced turned our stay into a complete nightmare. After checking in at 3 PM as requested, my wife got into bed only to discover a large, dry brown stain on the sheets — unclear whether it was food, vomit, or something else entirely. Disgusted but polite, we reported the issue to reception at around 5 PM. We were reassured that the situation would be taken care of. Fast forward to 10 PM: we return to the room, only to find the exact same stained sheets — nothing had been done. We went back to reception, and the same staff member who had acknowledged the issue accompanied us back to the room… bringing clean sheets in hand and expecting us to change the bed ourselves. This level of service is beyond unacceptable. For any hotel, cleanliness and basic hospitality are non-negotiable. What happened here was not only unprofessional, but also absolutely appalling. Needless to say, we will never return — and would strongly advise others to think twice before booking.

While the location was right downtown and close to a tram line, I would NOT stay her again or recommend it again. Mostly for lack of cleanliness and the telephone did not work but the hotel staff neglected to notify us when we checked In. TV remote have a large amout of visible dirt. The beds were twin slightly sunken in the middle but there was a strong foul vomit odor on the bed & wall next to it.

A core viewing item for tourists is the Erasmusbrug with its sleek lines and modern design. Instantly recognizable. I especially wanted to walk here as i suspected it was near our cruise ship terminal and I wanted to know how to get here if we had any trouble with our shuttle transfers. We walked half way out for great views down the river/channel. Additional photos were from our cruise ship sail away the next day, from the other side of the channel/river

Super cool to see up close in person. However if you are short on time - it’s just as spectacular viewing from afar. Walking across this bridge doesn’t compare to walking across the Brooklyn Bridge (which is not to be missed in NYC). There wasn’t much to see or do around the Erasmus bridge.

The Erasmus Bridge is a must-see in Rotterdam. Its sleek, modern design and impressive span make it a perfect spot for photos. Its one of the best tourist attraction. I passed by on a cloudy February, but I'm sure that the views on others seasons of the year as angles would be magnificent.

The Erasmus Bridge, also known as the Swan Bridge,very beautiful is a proud symbol of the city Rotterdam .Completed in 1996. You can not miss when coming to this city You get here by means of transport, Metro, Tram, Bus, Water Bus, Taxi Bus.

I went to the bridge in the evening. So I could get some nice shots of the city lights. The bridge is beautiful. I don’t know if I would’ve felt the same if I went during the day.

The Erasmus Bridge is more than just a structure; it is an icon and a symbol of modern Rotterdam. A visit at night is highly recommended and is one of the most beautiful experiences the city has to offer. It is a moment of tranquility and urban fascination all at once. Whether for a romantic stroll or as the highlight of an architectural tour, the sight of the luminous swan will stay with you long after your visit.

Love the architecture and the views you get when walking/ cycling over this bridge!

My buddy told me about this cool landmark, I took a train from Amsterdam to get there. It was late when I arrived. I didn’t get to view inside the architecture, even though the surface was yellow, you could still clearly see that it was being built for decades. If you’re in the area, you should totally drop by. I solely walked around these innovative houses, had a meal and headed back.

The Cube Houses are truly one of the most unique architectural sights I’ve ever visited. Walking through the area feels almost surreal—the tilted cubes, sharp angles, and bright yellow panels create a playful, futuristic atmosphere. The show house offers a fascinating look at how people actually live in these unconventional spaces, and the views from inside are surprisingly charming. Whether you’re into architecture or just love exploring memorable landmarks, the Cube Houses are absolutely worth a visit.

Interesting architecture on the cubes way of design and living. Was it good to visit and paid euro3.50. first time experiencing to see how the laid out. For the cost was ok. But the whole tour takes less than 10 mins to finish all. So it is up to you to judge if the cost is worth to pay.

Beautiful place to go and take a few shots and vídeos, definitely worth the visit on the OUTSIDE, but to be completely honest, wouldn’t recommend anyone to pay 3,50 euros for 5 minute “tour” inside a cube, my group and I thought it was quite disappointing and I would have appreciated knowing this in advance 😅

A definite must visit if coming to Rotterdam. The concept of people living in these unique structures is crazy and it is not too expensive to visit. Note that stairs are narrow so you need to be able to navigate these.

I had a couple of hours layover in Rotterdam so went to check out the cube houses. They are truly uniquebabd it was interesting to see how the architect has integrated storage. Population density in the Netherlands is a constant discussion but once you visit this you realize why they never made any more. Beautiful from the outside, interesting conceptually but definitely ultimate a case of form over function.

An area I had wanted to see every since I heard of its existence in planning our walk through Rotterdam, this did not disappoint. We were pressed for time so we did not enter the museum/show house but did wander through and around marveling at the tilted cubes and how they intertwined to make patios, shops and of course the actual homes. If I ever return to Rotterdam, I am definitely going to put aside time to enter the interior and explore what they have done with all the slanted ceilings and walls.

Here is absolutely stunning fields of colorful flowers, especially tulips, everywhere you look. It was quite crowded with tourists, but the atmosphere was still enjoyable. Outside the park, we rented bikes and explored the endless beautiful flower fields around Lisse a fantastic experience! Despite the crowds, I’d definitely love to come back.

Large and beautiful gardens with a multitude of tulip displays. It was lovely to walk around and see all the beds that are supported by local farmers. The indoor displays were great for a bit of variety. Spent about 3 hours total including a rest for lunch. Visited at the start of April, so before the peak season, but still quite tiring with the huge number of people. The bus and entry ticket was very convenient.

Its a spectacular garden with every colour of tulips and roses that you could imagine. Simply beautiful! There is also a section inside where they have arranged flowers and stuff, that too is worth seeing. Absolutely worth the money!!! Not-to-be-missed!

Visited Keukenhof in late March and had a lovely experience overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and getting there by bus was simple thanks to very clear signage and instructions throughout. While the outdoor tulips hadn’t bloomed yet (which is to be expected that early in the season), the indoor displays more than made up for it — vibrant, beautifully curated, and full of colour. The whole park is set in a stunning landscape, and even without the full bloom, it’s a peaceful and enjoyable place to walk around. I’ll definitely return again — but next time, a little later in the season to catch the gardens in full bloom.

One of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Highly recommended for people who love nature, flowers and looking for a day out to spend time close to nature. Amazing views and wide variety of Tulips. I have taken day trip from Amsterdam and it was well worth it.

VERY PRETTYY! visited it on march or april and it almost near the end of the season so some flowers are already got cut off, but still the collection is so pretty and it's less crowded! you should also buy and eat the strawberry covered chocolate and some snacks there! i also bought a bus ride from amsterdam from Klook!

My goodness, there is no other garden like this one. The place is huge and spectacular. There are flowers in every colour including black. Flowers are everywhere, left, right, behind and infront of you. The garden is located outside of Amsterdam and reachable by car or the Keukenhof bus which was very efficient. There are many people that visit this garden but you can still navigate easily if you come the earliest possible when the garden open. There are places on site to buy lunch and/or snacks. It is a bit pricey but the quality was really good so that worked out well. An amazing experience, I spent over 4 hrs at the garden, and took hundreds of photos. It is a must visit on anyone's list that loves tulips. It is a must to see the creativity in gardening, how much planning went into that, how much work was done, incredible experience for me.

First time on a DFDS cruise, booking was smooth, customer support was very helpful. Was a bit difficult to find the parking for the car but we called and the lady helped. Check-in and passport control were easy and we could board the cruise. No elevator for the baby trolley but the staff promptly helped up the escalators. On board staff is very very friendly, welcoming and helpful, always with a smile! Plenty of entertainment on board, kids play area, cinema, games, drinks, extra activities like watching sea wild life (if you're lucky to see them)... Buffet or a-la-carte restaurant, cafeteria. We had the buffet and our room included wifi, and mini-bar drinks, what a treat! Comfortable beds and nice shower, much better than expected! We loved the experience and would like to repeat, maybe taking the car next time and exploring the North of England or Scotland.

We took the ferry to Newcastle with our dog and we really enjoyed it. The bedroom was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The dog area was nice and we like most that the sailing was smooth as we sometimes get sea sick. Thank you.

Nice ferry....food was great....good selection .....we upgraded our cabin to commodore class.....helpful staff as my wife is a wheelchair user

Opted for the commodore suite for comfort rather than any other option price wise. What you get - a hotel room afloat - a private lounge with drinks and nibbles FOC. Lounge is open 24hrs for drinks coffee etc. Meet and greet at the entrance to the commodore cabins Breakfast included in the price of the cabin in a private dining area Staff are fantastic, so warm and friendly The vessel itself is a credit to the officers and crew as she was pristine in appearance. Not a cheap option but in my mind money well spent Highly recommend that you don’t waste your money on dining onboard as we found the food bland at best, veggies cold and not worth the £28 per head. More like a poor works canteen

Fabulous area, we used the DFDS ship. Outstanding views and the tall ships well and truly added to the experience.

Heavy Metal Tek Dive Trip to Scapa with SACW Wiltz! Excellent service, the staff are very attentive and friendly, and the prices are reasonable! Everything was perfect! Thanks to the Pricess team.

Absolutely 💯 loved the trip ' staff ' all so pleasant and helpful! Food in the a la carte was spectacular 😋!! Wine choices ' yep ' all good ... recommend dfds

A great day trip from Rotterdam. The videos inside the boat are great, lovely electronic demonstrations, you can go inside a couple windmills. But the best part is how passionate the volunteers are. They love chatting about the water management system and Netherlands history. A wonderful place for a sunny day. Do be careful with the ferry, if you time it incorrectly, you'll be waiting for an hour to get there or back.

We didn’t have time to do the tour since we were biking through to Vreeswijk, but some of our colleagues were able to do a short tour and see the inside of the working windmills. The photos were really cool and I wish I could’ve done it. Great place to walk or bike. Beautiful scenery.

We visited this beautiful and serene UNESCO site in September. We enjoyed the boat ride and exploring the two windmills. I am glad to see that they kept these windmills in good conditions so that next generations appreciate them. Definitely worth visiting.

The Kinderdijk windmill complex in the Netherlands consists of several historic windmills arranged in a line along waterways. Visitors can explore the outdoor areas of the mills and gain insight into the region's traditional water management systems. The paths are easily accessible, partially suitable for bicycles and pedestrians, and there are designated areas for photography and rest stops. Information about the mills and their history is provided via information panels. Parking is €9; guided tours of individual mills are available for an additional fee. The complex is clearly visible due to its location in an open landscape, offering several points of view over the windmills and waterways. Overall, the Kinderdijk windmill complex offers an informative and well-structured tour of historical buildings in a manageable setting.

UNESCO Kinderdijk is absolutely beautiful and well worth the visit. The row of historic windmills set along the waterways feels almost timeless, and the scenery is peaceful, open, and incredibly photogenic. Walking or biking through the area gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the landscape, and the visitor center provides helpful background on the history and engineering behind the windmills. It’s a perfect blend of nature, culture, and Dutch heritage—a truly memorable experience.

The site is huge and it is very beautiful you can spend the day there and honestly I didn’t take the tour but it is recommended due to the fact that it allows you to see the area better and have a better experience. But the parking was really hard to be found and their parking places are extremely expensive!!

We came here in October on a Thursday so we knew going into it that it was off-season. Getting here via public transit from Rotterdam was a bit of a trek but we managed. We bought tickets and enjoyed all it had to offer. We walked through all the museum spaces, took the water shuttle and the water tour. It was a fun day out in nature to get some fresh air and getaway from the city. It seemed like you could explore the place without buying tickets but to access the museum exhibits, the museum style windmills and the water shuttle, you needed to show proof of tickets. The only thing I'd recommend is bringing your own food as the options were slim and the space to eat filled up quick once the rain started down pouring!

A perfect summer day out in a family friendly birds park. Even with the big crowd this place didn’t feel congested. Overall good design of the park made the crowd keep moving and kept the kids entertained. There are enough restrooms and eateries. kids loved the multiple playgrounds. Easy to spend a whole day within budget.

Great park, we had the chance to have a night booked in the hotel, so free entrance to the park (we were there for an event around, not especially for the park). I had a great time looking at animals under the nice weather! You can get really close to some of them 😍

Such a cute zoo! We spend the whole day here and absolutely loved it. It’s not too big, but you can definitely enjoy yourself for a day. The shows are amazing and the bird feeding is a nice experience.

Absolutely worth a visit. We stayed at the hotel and had a free entry, so we simply had to visit the park while we were here. It's so much more than just birds in cages, you can actually walk among some of them and that is really nice. You can tell that the park has been here for a while and is in dire need of upgrades and repairs. That said, it is very relaxing to just walk around and enjoy the scenery.

We had a fantastic family day at Avifauna! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by the beauty of nature and a wonderful variety of birds and animals—many of which walk right alongside you, making the experience even more magical, especially for the kids. The playground was an absolute highlight! The towering slides are not only impressive to look at (and perfect for some fun photos), but they also offer an adrenaline rush that even the most hesitant thrill-seekers won't be able to resist. There’s so much more than just slides too—karts, a trampoline, and rope climbing adventures kept the whole family entertained for hours. Avifauna offers the perfect blend of wildlife encounters and active play, making it an ideal day out for families. We’ll definitely be back! Tickets online are €1 euro cheaper than at the till, small selection of hot food and snacks also available.

Avifauna is a wonderful place for all ages. The park is beautifully maintained with an impressive variety of birds from all over the world. The enclosures are spacious, and you can really see how well the animals are cared for. The bird shows are both entertaining and educational - definitely a highlight of our visit. There are plenty of areas to sit and relax, and the playground is fantastic for kids. You can also enjoyed a nice lunch at the restaurant with a lovely view over the lake or a coffee in the cafè. Overall, Avifauna is a unique and enjoyable experience - highly recommended if you’re in the Alphen aan den Rijn area!

Nice zoo with a really good kids park. Best to arrange your visit aligned with day plan to see more attractions. I loved Umvikeli, Madagascar and Lori landing. Unfortunately Flamingo area is very crowded :( I think it needs some expansion.

This is a great place to experience history especially roman and medieval age. Lot of things to for kids. Sword fighting making stuff playing games and that way learn about history plenty of food and drinks not too expensive for an amusement park. Doable in half a day which is also fine with kids. Don't get me wrong also entertaining for adults. And toilet are decently clean.

Great place to go with kids, staff is very friendly and plays a great role for the atmosphere. Lots to do, not only a museum but interactivity and play at almost every corner of the park. You can visit the gladiator show as well at the end of the day which is a great cling act. Went here multiple time as a kid and now taking my kids to it!

A very nice open-air museum which shows you EVERY period from the Mesolithic (8000 BC), all the way up to the Middle Ages (14th century). A true walk throughout history!

Archeon – Gladiators, Bulls, and… an Early Kitchen? Visited Archeon during their Roman Week for a special late-night opening (until 21:00) with a gladiator theme and it was a brilliant choice. The park is beautifully kept, easy to book online, and full of staff walking around in themed costumes. Some aren’t just dressed for the part – they’re walking encyclopedias, eager to tell you about Roman weapons, daily life, and just how tough you had to be back then. Special shout-out to the team caring for the magnificent bulls: calm, majestic, and completely unfazed by the crowd. The only downer? The restaurants and the museum closed at their usual time. So while the park was open late, the food and extra exhibits clocked out early. On special days like this, it would be great if the timetable matched the extended opening hours. Still, it’s an experience worth recommending, especially if you enjoy history served with a side of live action, authentic costumes, and the occasional bull.

We visited here yesterday with a large family. The park is very interesting and educational. There is a lot to do and see. The bird show was good and good prices were reasonable. If your child is learning about the Romans, Vikings or the .middle ages, you can't find a better experience. Signs are in both Dutch and English. Staff were helpful and we loved sword fighting and axe throwing. We bought tickets in advance and managed to get discounts.

Nice day out at Archeon. Next time we will go earlier so we have more time to do things. One can definitely spend a whole day there. The food stalls were very nice and located everywhere around the park.

We were here on Saturday, there weren't many people. The museum is great! Lots of information, great installations, great staff dressed in period style - they are ready to talk to you and tell you lots of interesting things. You can take part in various activities, the main thing is to follow the schedule. We spent almost 3 hours here.

Such a unique experience in Breda! To get in there, we needed to wait until 2pm on Sunday. It was not so crowded, yet it is a definitely must see in Breda. You can learn the history of the town from the information provided on the walls.

Absolutely stunning place! I’ve traveled a lot throughout the world and this is truly one of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve seen. It’s very well kept and taken care of and there’s enough light to see every small detail. The organ is gorgeous and as a musician myself, I’d be very curious to hear it played. We visited in the afternoon of Dec 31 and it was still welcoming people.

Unique church with rich history - we have utilized it as a congress venue and it's been lovely!

The Church is charming. The current exhibition is really interesting, inspiring and diverse (for a merely symbolic price). The guidebook is very well written: even if it is only in dutch it can be easily translated with Lens. I am thankful to the ladies and gentlemen of the staff at the entrance for the suggestion and giving it to me anyway. Congratulations.

For a city like Breda, it’s a very impressive structure. The entrance to the church (which is obviously free) is from the side and immediately you feel the need of looking up. Tall, impressive, strong and powerful. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the pipe-organ as it was under restoration, but we could talk a small glimpse from the side and we noticed the incredible colors. If you come to Breda you have to see it!

The interior of this church is quite disappointing. There is no real place to pray, no proper seating like you would expect in other churches, and it always feels like it’s half-finished, with constant work going on. Looking at reviews from years ago, it seems nothing has really changed. Inside, it doesn’t feel like a functioning church but more like a museum, with tombs, sculptures, and works of art on display, as well as temporary exhibitions. Unless you pay for the museum and take a guided tour, much of it has little explanation and feels like a random mix of things. More than a place for reflection, meditation, or prayer, it’s a cultural site that honestly isn’t very interesting inside. Quite unfortunate. The exterior, on the other hand, is majestic and truly beautiful. But overall, it’s not worth going inside.

Let op going in cost money 5 euro per person to enter the house of god😏

Was here during the carnival. But this magical place was quiet and peaceful. An interesting marvelous courtyard that tells the story of this community. Next to the miniature museum. Free admission

Nice secluded garden where the unmarried women lived. The plants have signs. There is a small church/chapel on the grounds. There is a medetative atmosphere to the place where it is hard to believe you are in the center of Breda. If you are in breda take the time to hop in. It is free

Visiting Begijnhof was a wonderful experience and a definite highlight during my trip. This peaceful, picturesque enclave is steeped in history, dating back to the 13th century when it served as a community for religious women. The charming, well-preserved houses, cobblestone paths, and lovely gardens create a serene atmosphere that transports you back in time. The Begijnhof is home to a fascinating museum where you can learn about the lives of the beguines and the history of the community. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated and provide an excellent insight into the daily lives of these remarkable women. In addition to the main museum, there is also a unique doll and miniature museum, which is a real treat for visitors of all ages. The intricate detail and craftsmanship of the miniature scenes and dollhouses are truly impressive and provide a glimpse into various aspects of historical life. The church at Begijnhof is another must-see, with its stunning architecture and peaceful ambiance. It's the perfect place for quiet reflection and to admire the beautiful stained-glass windows and artwork inside. If you're looking for a break from the bustling city, Begijnhof is a tranquil oasis that offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. I highly recommend taking the time to visit this enchanting place, which will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on your heart.

Really pretty and tranquil

Such serenity. Much wow. Mind you, people live here. Respect their privacy and don't talk to loud. This place is best enjoyed in silent contemplation.

A quiet secluded area in the middle of Breda

Very small yet calm place. I have lived here in the city for years and never once found it to be crowded. It is minutes away from the city center. Easy walking distance. If you happen to be in the big park then do please go in and have a look. It is right around the corner. A really a pleasant place to walk around in or to sit and read a book. In summer it looks delightful and in winter it looks like a small medieval wonder. As far as i am aware it is free of charge to walk around the garden. I go at least once a month and never had to pay to walk around.

I think this is a friendly park, suitable for both children and adults to enjoy activities. However, there is a bit too much feces.😅

The park is truly hilarious, it is definitely an animal-friendly place! There are ducks lurking around everywhere. You can also bring your dog and enjoy the water area or grass.

Amazing park to just hangout and chill. Lots of greenery with a fountain near the middle. There's some geese too which are really friendly

We always love walking through this park. It is so beautiful and we share many amazing memories here.

Beautiful well kept park. Great place to sit and relax. Drinking water tap. Fun music festival happened here in September and close to city center. Highly suggest

Beautiful park with a lovely, reasonably priced bar

Omg this place was amazing and experience on another level, food ,drink and service was 👍 , and the atmosfere was as if we are in some sort of event , lots of difrent nice ,smiling people, the perfect Dutch society experience 🥰❤️

My local park. I love it & so do many many Amsterdamers.. Tourists, everyone. Busy and buzzing. With lots of wildlife and some quiet peaceful areas.. Lovely Rose garden. Playgrounds, Bars, restaurants and concert venue inside. It's a main thoroughfare into the city and in the mornings and evenings it's like a Football game has ended.. Great for running - just about 3.5km all the way around the place but also inline skating and cycling. Walking etc.. Outside smelly Dutch style urinals placed strategically about but also public toilets in the bars.. A long and fairly narrow green lung in the city.

A beautiful park to take a walk to or go by bike!!! If you have time you can just sit on a bench or on the grass and enjoy the calm nature around you. Really a beautiful place!

Vondelpark is amazing, i would just wish that Amsterdam had like 10 of Vondelparks. :) Great place to hang out and walk around out of the hustle and bustle of the city surrounding it. Vondelstraat is also a great neighborhood to walk through.

Walked through this beautiful Vondel park, lots of people taking advantage of this park, walking, running, biking, sitting on benches, sitting on the grass. Many people were here and I found I had to watch myself that I didn’t get in anyone’s way, still glad I checked this area out.

I absolutely loved the park the trees and roses were breathtaking to see in person. The sound of running water added such a calming touch, and the Japanese maples were stunning. It’s the perfect spot for yoga or simply unwinding after a busy day.

Vondelpark is a truly beautiful and relaxing place in the heart of Amsterdam. The park feels peaceful and full of life at the same time, with wide green spaces, winding paths, and lovely ponds. It’s perfect for walking, cycling, or simply sitting on a bench and enjoying the atmosphere. Whether you visit in the morning or at sunset, the scenery is charming and the vibe is welcoming. It’s a wonderful escape from the busy city streets and a must-see for anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Our favorite spot in Amsterdam! We walked and cycled across this park almost every day during our stay in Amsterdam, and each time we found a lovely spot inside this park. They have rose sections which I imagine would be best during spring or early summer. There are public toilets accessible in this park, not sure about the cleanliness.

We try to visit an art museum in every city we visit and this was a great one! Very organized timed entry and exit. The audio tour was great and the art was obviously amazing. It was also a good size, but not so big your feet hurt by the end. :) Definitely a must see if you visit Amsterdam but buy your tickets well in advance!

Must visit if you like art even one tiny bit. I'm not an art aficionado myself but I can't not be amazed by Van Gogh's Paintings. You cannot buy tickets at the gate. It must be pre purchased online beforehand. Please note the starry night (Van Gogh's most famous painting) is not here. But they have other amazing paintings including another masterpiece - The potato eaters. The lighting is not nice. It's dull yellow and doesn't do justice to the colours. It should be much brighter. One thing which was not nice was the locker system to keep your backpack which is not allowed inside. It's free but had no instructions. You first need to go to the panel and enter a code and it will assign a locker. The shop is also nice, they have some really good items for sale. Overall worth every penny !

An absolutely incredible experience! Visiting the Van Gogh Museum was a highlight of my trip to Amsterdam. The collection is extraordinary, featuring the world’s largest selection of Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Each room takes you deeper into his life, his emotions, and the evolution of his unique artistic style. From the iconic Sunflowers to The Bedroom and many of his lesser-known works, every painting tells a story and invites you to linger, reflect, and truly appreciate the genius behind them. A tip for anyone planning to visit: go early! The museum can get crowded, and you’ll want plenty of quiet time to soak in the details of each painting. I found myself captivated for hours, moving slowly from one room to the next, completely immersed in the colors, textures, and emotions Van Gogh captured on canvas. The museum is beautifully organized, and the exhibits provide excellent context about his life, influences, and struggles. The combination of his art and the informative displays makes this not just a visit, but an emotional journey through one of the most brilliant artistic minds in history. If you love art, history, or simply want to experience something that stays with you long after leaving, this museum is a must-visit. I left feeling inspired, awed, and grateful for the opportunity to witness these masterpieces up close. Truly unforgettable! 🎨

I truly enjoyed the experience! Though the museum doesn’t have some works like the starry night, it explores the path of Vincent through the time. What I liked is examples of the work that inspired Van Gogh, the paintings of his friends that he exchanged for his paintings and the paintings that got inspiration from Van Gogh. An extended audio guide was easy to follow and it felt pretty short.

Let’s be honest this is one of those things that everyone tells you have to see. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, you’re probably going whether you want to or not. Take the back staircase that gives you a great view of the area below. I actually recommend going all the way to the top first and then working your way down. Don’t worry about going to the first gift shop you see there’s multiple gift shops there. They’re also is a few really great views to be had depending on where you stop for a coffee. The architecture of the building itself is actually really enjoyable. There’s a lot of art to be seen so if you walk into one room and it’s crowded just circle back to it later. Budget a few hours, but don’t spend the whole day because there’s a ton to do in the surrounding area.

The Van Gogh Museum is absolutely stunning, not just the building itself, which is beautiful, but the entire atmosphere. The exhibits are incredible, of course, but what truly stood out to me was the storytelling. As we walked through the museum, we felt like we were being guided through Vincent’s life, seeing the world through his eyes, and understanding his struggles, passion, and vision on a much deeper level. By the time we left, we had a completely new appreciation of who Vincent Van Gogh was, both as an artist and as a person. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve walked out the door.

I had a great experience. I would say it would take 1.5-2 hours to get through the museum. There is a lot of people (of course) which does make it harder to enjoy but what can you do. There is a lot to learn about his life. There are some other artists who were his friend or inspiration etc. The gift shops/ cafe are about the size of the museum itself but it has a huge selection too and reasonably priced. There are also lockers to store your bags/ coat hangers so you don’t have to carry around so much and can enjoy the works of art.

Great unique experience. They give you individual audio pods which hosts several languages. This gallery is the home that Anne Frank found refuge with her family before they were found. As you enter each room, you scan the room# as it narrates events in her life. There is a bookstore and café shop located at the end of the tour. Rsvp online purchase as it is busy, but not really a long wait when it get there. Goes fast and the tour is about an hour long.

Impressive, very well conserved. Autoguided visit. No photos allowed in the hidden house, only in the visitors centre for the ones who buy the ticket+introdutory lesson (30 minutes for an overview of the history, I fully recommend). It can be a little sufocating not only because of the place but also about the history that happened inside. It is impossible going there and not feel bad about what these walls have listened and witnessed. It is a painful but necessary visit.

Really would recommend. The audio tour helps paint a picture of what it was like back then. Imagining having to be quiet so you weren't heard. Seeing the original features really brings it to life.

A solemn and moving museum to remind humanity not to repeat such horrific events. The courage of not only the Frank family but also the saints who helped this family was displayed. It filled my heart to see that the dreams of a young girl was fulfilled although she was denied to live her life.

Amazing! You cannot take photos inside, they have coat check so you can bring your bag to leave there. They also provide speaker phone type of device in many different languages. I have a spinal condition and was able to make all of the stairs! I highly recommend.

Awesome experience. A must for those in Amsterdam. History truly comes to life right in front of you. No photos allowed in the house itself.

A great display. To see the conditions & how the family lived hiding all those years was amazing. You certainly have to book 6 weeks in advance in summer/peak season. Unfortunately no photos allowed to be taken inside the complex.

Great museum. Hadn’t been for a few years, better than I remembered. Amazing art spread over four floors in the heart of the museum area. Saw huge works of art, great sculpture too and even an aircraft up on floor 3. And a condom that dates back to 1830 🙄 A must see. Only takes a couple of hours to get a good feel. You can then return to explore more.

Stunning setting on par with the Louvre; goldmine of Dutch Masters but also extensive collections of porcelain, china, silverware, jewelry, firearms, nautical models and other items. Large, open atrium and other common areas with ample access to washrooms, lifts and stairwells. App (IOS and Android) loads easily and allows access to thematic and custom tours. BRING ear buds, although you can listen via your phone’s speaker. Audio device is only €6.50 each. Cafeteria fills by mid-day with lineup; we grabbed coffee / tea and a brownie for two at the smaller cafe. Cons: App and general signage could be better at orienting visitors: it took a while to find the Great Hall. Many exhibits are dimly lit; I know this protects paintings/fabric/etc, but many other international museums have more ample lighting. Maybe illuminate the text descriptions separately? Given that explanatory panels are often mounted within 50cm of the floor, deciphering them can pose a challenge. Even saw quite young folks having to squint. Strongly advise staff to engage an Optometrist to assist in this. Sum: certainly a “must see”, with a complete visit likely requiring 3+ hrs. Staff very helpful, and roving throughout the museum. Buy tickets from the official site beforehand (or via QR on site), and avail yourself of the (included) coat-check.

The Rijksmuseum is an incredible place to explore Dutch art and history. The collection is world-class from Rembrandt’s The Night Watch to Vermeer’s The Milkmaid, every gallery feels like a walk through time. The building itself is stunning, and the layout makes it easy to wander and discover something new at every turn. That said, it can get very crowded, especially on weekends. I definitely recommend buying your tickets in advance to skip the long lines and secure your preferred time slot. Once inside, take your time there’s so much to see that it’s worth spending a few hours here. Overall, a fantastic cultural experience and a must-visit in Amsterdam, just make sure to plan ahead!

Buy tickets outside at a little portable booth in front of the overpass. Watch out for FAST💨 BIKES!!! The famous Night Watchman by Rembrandt is under serious restoration and is partially blocked due to scaffolding. This painting is on the second floor, the 1700s. Later work by Van Gogh is on the 1st floor exhibited. We also ate lunch in the museum cafeteria and the food was super fast and fresh! The chicken salad and the buffalo mozzarella salad were excellent!!

Classic, iconic, and indispensable art museum. While it is best known for its classic collection and Dutch Golden Age masterpieces, it also hosts an extensive selection of works from other periods, including contemporary critical exhibits. Carefully curated, the visit can be extensive if one wishes to cover all it has to offer. But it makes for a memorable experience both for those with a dedication to art and culture, and the casual visitor. It is useful to book tickets in advance. While the crowds are managed reasonably, it can get busy, in particular in the most popular galleries. An early arrival is useful to enjoy those works in a more relaxed way. The museum has quality services for information, accessibility, shop, restaurant and coffee bar. Staff is professional, congenial, and knowledgeable across all roles. The 2013 refurbishment of the historic Pierre Cuypers building by Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos still feels fresh, cogent, and successful in upgrading the entrances, patios, service areas, and selected exhibition spaces. If anything it would have been nice to have a more direct opportunity to understand the evolution of the building, its spaces, collection history, and new curatorial practices. Although much of that emerges through the visiting experience, and carefully prepared exhibits.

This museum was huge! Beautiful to look and on both the inside and the outside. Beautiful gardens and greenery and the building was an architectural masterpiece. Our story is a little funny because even tho we paid to enter, we were so tired from the day already that we only entered for a mere 3 minutes and then stepped out to go look for Stroopwaffles. We barely saw anything here, but hey everyone says it's a must-see when you're visiting Amsterdam.

The Rijksmuseum is spacious and full of variety—you can easily spend two hours or more exploring. Of course, the famous paintings, especially those by Rembrandt, are breathtaking. But beyond that, we enjoyed discovering other exhibits too: delicate porcelain, shipbuilding models, and historical artifacts that tell stories beyond the canvas. We arrived early, which helped—it was fairly quiet at first. But the museum filled up quickly and became quite crowded in some areas. The café is lovely and offers a peaceful break. Unfortunately, The Night Watch is currently under restoration, but even so, it remains a powerful and moving centerpiece. Visiting the Rijksmuseum is a beautiful experience—perfect for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking cultural depth and inspiration.

Absolutely blown away from start to finish! The Heineken Experience in Amsterdam is a truly polished, world-class attraction — not just for those with an interest in beer, but for anyone who enjoys a fun, interactive, and high-quality experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and well thought out. The tour guides and staff are an absolute credit to Heineken — all so friendly, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. You can really tell they love being there, and it makes the whole visit that much better. As someone who works in facilities management, I have to mention the cleanliness — it’s impeccable. Not a speck of dust to be found anywhere! The toilets were spacious and spotless, not one light out or a single scuff mark on the walls — and believe me, I looked. This place is a genuine case study in operational excellence. The experience itself gives you a real sense of pride in Heineken; it’s now my go-to beer! The tasting sessions were fantastic, the beer was fresh and delicious, and the rooftop bar offered stunning views — the perfect way to end the tour. It’s not just a cash grab either — there are plenty of fun extras and freebies along the way, and at under €30 per person, it’s an absolute bargain. A must for anyone visiting Amsterdam — you’ll leave with a smile, a pint, and a newfound appreciation for one of the world’s most iconic beers. 🍺🌿🇳🇱

Their tour is super fun and informative. You learn a lot about their history and how they have come so far. You get to see where it is brewed and so so much more. You can even buy a customizable bottle! Their gift shop has so many items, and the bar at the end of the tour is worth hanging around in for a while. Their tour is easy to join and they have lockers for you to keep your things. You get drink tokens with purchase of your tour. Must go to the rooftop!

I’ve wanted to go to the Heineken Brewery for ages and I was sad to say I was a little bit disappointed. The tour was very informative, I enjoyed learning about the beer and brand. But I personally didn’t like some of the interactive elements of the tour, it just felt like space filler unfortunately... The section of the tour where “you are a beer bottle” is brilliant, the tour guides were honestly one of the best parts, they were absolutely brilliant and so funny. The bar at the end of the tour needs more seated areas and tables - it would have been nice to sit and drink my beers instead of just awkwardly stood around.

Ok fun experience if youve never done a brewery tour before. They make it more fun and pop. Rooftop area is beautiful. I guess if its your first time in Amsterdam, this is a must stop attraction. But they focus on making it a bit more fun and sporty rather than historical which was what i was expecting.

This is a really fun place to visit whether your a fan of the beer or not, it certainly helps if you are that said which we where! Very fun and informative experience. Came a few years ago and was great to see all the new improvements they have made such as the ride.

All I can say is WOW!!!! Honestly it was not high on my agenda on my visit to Amsterdam but decided to do it on one of the two free afternoons we had. It was beyond my expectations, well organized, very professional, interactive and not to mention the free beers. Heineken has been my beer of choice whenever I am away from home so it was actually a treat to see what went into brewing it. Please don’t take my word for it. If you get the opportunity make a point to do the tour….if possible, book the rooftop experience you will be pleasantly surprised.

What a cool & interactive brewery experience! Love that a general ticket includes 2-3 small beers at the end, informative staff, & interactive rooms where you can take a digital souvenir for example. All the staff we encountered were very friendly/funny, the lobby has lockers/coat hang. Love that its centrally located too

Great location… 5 min walk from the Central station and 7-10 minutes walk to the centrum including the RLD and even Dam square. The location is unbeatable! The hotel is very modern and nicely decorated. The rooms are a tiny bit small but acceptable for one person.. It would have been tight for a couple but acceptable for Europe. The bathroom is ok and they have decent toiletries. Very clean rooms. The service is good but not consistent. They offer water for the coffee machine but they don’t replenish them! I had to ask and make my coffee with tap water, which I understand is clean in Amsterdam. The views from the rooms are nice. There is an excellent buffet breakfast, it was included so I don’t know the price.. The coffee declined in quality as the days went by, I don’t know why.. it’s not good coffee but the rest of the food is decent and included bircher muesli, cereal station, Goji Berries etc..they also prepare eggs on demand. Overall very nice hotel..

Outstanding stay! Everything was 10/10. The location is perfect, offering easy access to everything. The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional. Our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. My partner and I agree: We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Amsterdam! Highly recommended!

The hotel itself is nice, but the food and drink service let it down. At breakfast, I left my phone and earphones on a clean table by the river while I went to get food. When I came back, they were gone. A member of staff had picked them up and told me I had to move because that area was “closed”, even though other guests were still seated there. I was moved to a dirty, cramped table with no clean cutlery, surrounded by loud families and away from the window. I then had to find another table myself, and by the time I did, my food was cold and had to be replaced. A few minutes later, another guest was seated at my original table by a different staff member. My belongings should also never have been removed and put into a staff member’s pocket. At the rooftop bar, drink service was very slow. Later that night we tried to return, but were refused entry even though there were still 20–25 minutes until closing and other guests were inside. We then bought drinks from the hotel shop, only to be told we couldn’t sit in the lobby and had to go to our rooms. On the positive side, the location is great, check-in staff were friendly, and the room was upgraded with no issues. Concierge was friendly and helped with a good dinner booking.

The Doubletree is a very good hotel in central Amsterdam, The place it's not the best neighborhood to stay in the city, since it is by the central station, but it is very convenient. We had a room with a very nice view to the canal, small but quiet. The wifi works great, the pillows are not what you would expect from this kind of hotels and the light in the room could have some improvement it is too dark!! The breakfast buffet is delicious, with plenty of different food to choose from.

We’ve stayed here a few times, it’s a great location next to the station and the trams, also a little away from the busiest areas so you can come back here and chill if you want to. Rooms are excellent, comfortable and quiet. Staff are super helpful. Don’t miss the rooftop bar.

I'll make a long and unpleasant story short so that you understand my fury. I booked a stay at the Amsterdam Doubletree in Centraal station from 21-30Dec2025. I booked your hotel and not an Air BnB specifically because your hotel had A/C. I was given a room with a poorly-functioning A/C. When I complained on day 2, after spending the night sweating through my sheets, I was told they'd handle it. They did not. Complaints on days 3 through 5 via both phone and request at the front desk yielded no repairs and no new room. On day 6 (that Monday) I went down and demanded a new room, which I received. During those first 5 days I was at a conference. Due to lack of sleep because of the warm room, I was unable to take full advantage of the knowledge presented. Additionally, my time with my friends was curtailed because I was tired and spent time napping in their rooms at other hotels that had functioning A/C. This is the SECOND vacation this hotel has ruined due to maintenance issues; on the first one the shower was clogged for 3 days and not fixed, so I had to take a shower / stay at other friends' places. I get a vacation on average about every 2.5-3 years, and this hotel has managed to almost ruin both. I will never again stay at a Hilton hotel for foreign travel and will discourage anyone I know from utilizing your chain. Lifetime Diamond status doesn't appear to get you any additional consideration, and now you've got some kind of new Tier that I'm supposed to strive for. If I do any more tier-advancing, I'm going to do it with Mariott.

Ideal location, walking distance to most tourist attractions. Overlooks the canal. Facility is also nice clean contemporary modern . Staff is also very friendly and nice, Only reason I am giving a low rating for service is, being Hilton Gold I was told I have free breakfast at check in. Somehow that didn't make it to the on line system..when my daughter went for breakfast , she was turned away. And this happened on last day, as we ate out first 2 days. Anyways, they need to have some system in place. Otherwise had a wonderful stay here.
