Holland, have you been there? email this discussion to a friend?

Redrum666 (41)   ranked 1 out of 17 in netherlands3 years ago

First of all, I would like to know if there are any Dutch people here.

To anyone else: have you visited Holland yet? If so, what do you think about it, where did you go and what do you remember of it? Most of you must know Amsterdam, but have you actually been there?

If you haven't visited Holland - you should!

I am not Dutch,but there are some people from Holland on here.
I have visited Holland many times.
Amsterdam is the best city I have ever visited,and I would think I will go back many times in the future.
I must admit that the coffee shops and red light district in Amsterdam are the main reasons I visit.
But there are many other things to do,and many fine sights to see.
The people are friendly,and generally it is a quite laid back place.
For anyone interested,Floyds Coffee shop is my very favorite.

Thanks for your reply. Amsterdam is indeed a nice city to visit.

Here's a map with all popular coffeeshops in Amsterdam:

i heard that they have hardly any windmills in holland which is pretty ironic


Redrum666 (41)   ranked 1 out of 17 in netherlands  3 years ago

There used to be a lot of windmills in Holland. Fires, storms and acts of war destroyed a lot of them, but windmills are still a symbol of Holland's struggle against the water.

I am not Dutch either but have been to the Netherlands. My favorite memory is visiting their fantastic bakeries every day to pick up another wonderful dessert! I flew into Amsterdam and took a small plane to Eindhoven and spend alot of time around Mastric (sp?) It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget!


Redrum666 (41)   ranked 1 out of 17 in netherlands  3 years ago

Yeah, Limburg has good cakes and pastry. I have family in Heerlen, so I come there every now and then. I guess you meant Maastricht, if you went there, you must have been in Heerlen too.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (11731)   ranked 5 out of 17 in netherlands  3 years ago

Yes. I was.....it's a beautiful country with lots of wonderful people......

Hey, I also Live in Holland!
I live In the city Utrecht.
For those who don't know Utrecht I will tell something about it.

Utrecht is a city that looks a bit like Amsterdam but the city is smaller.
We also have coffeeshops in Utrecht but we don't have a lot tourism here.
A special thing from Utrecht is the Dome tower in Utrecht.
It's the largest church in Holland and it's 112 meters high!

Redrum666, where do you live in Holland?


Redrum666 (41)   ranked 1 out of 17 in netherlands  3 years ago

Hey don, nice to see you here on MyLot.

I live in Alphen, this is a place between Leiden and Woerden. English people probably don't know where this is.


myLot reputation of 95/100. honeybeemay (239)  2 years ago

I live in Holland for 8 years now. And have been to these places you've both mentioned. Utrecht is just a lovely city and I have been to Woerden too..i just love Holland..clean & green..(except in the winter..lol..)

I would like to visit Holland. I have heard so much bout it from people who visited. They talk about Amsterdam and Rotterdam. they talk about how you can go round in boats because you have water all around. Hoping to come there and see it for myself.

I visited the Netherlands in October of 2005 with my wife and 1 year old son. My wife's family is from Zuidwolde, so we spent a lot of time there. We also stayed with family in Rotterdam and Zwolle. Then we spent a weekend on our own in Amsterdam.

I absolutely love the country! The scenery, the people, the cheese and breads! I even developed an appreciation for yogurt (which seems to be about all everyone serves for dessert there). We saw windmills at the Kinderdijk; we toured the Royal Delft factory in Delft, checked out the canals in Geethorn; toured the cathedrals in Zwolle and the National Heritage Museum in Arnhem.

I could easily enjoy living there if I found a job (that didn't require too much knowledge of Dutch:D ) and could afford a place to live.
