A good example is our capital city Amsterdam, which is known for its artistic heritage, extensive canal network and narrow gabled houses, a legacy from the Golden Age. The Museum Quarter houses the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum with works by Rembrandt and Vermeer, and the Stedelijk Museum with modern art. Well worth a visit is also the Anne Frank House. This is a monument in memory of Anne Frank (made famous by the diary she wrote, The Secret Annexe) and her family. The house is in Amsterdam at Prinsengracht 263-267. The entrance to the museum is, around the corner, at Westermarkt 20. To avoid waiting times, it is advisable to book tickets through the official Anna Frank site. Seeing Amsterdam from the water is actually the best and most appropriate way to see all the sights. In peace and quiet, you will let the beauty of centuries-old canal houses pass you by and at the same time shut out the hustle and bustle of the present-day metropolis. Most canal cruises depart from Stationsplein and Damrak. This is just a small selection of the sights that our capital Amsterdam has to offer. So a visit to Amsterdam is definitely worthwhile for a day out or a successful holiday at home.
Sommige vakantiegangers kiezen voor vrij of wildkamperen. De meesten kiezen voor een officiële verblijfsaccommodaties. Ongeveer 4 van de 10 Nederlanders geven anno 2016 voor hun overnachting de voorkeur aan een hotel, pension of bed & breakfast. Dan volgen caravan/camper, zomerhuis/bungalow en appartement met elk tussen de 10-20% van de vakantiegangers.
Ook zoekt men steeds vaker naar specifieke vormen van recreëren. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn:
The main forms of accommodation are:
- hotels, in all forms, traditionally places for overnight stays by holidaymakers;
- camping sites, an important alternative in some parts of the world, especially as they increasingly rent out luxury tents, caravans, hiker's huts or bungalows;
- holiday flats, flats rented exclusively to tourists;
- bungalow parks, sites with holiday bungalows, often with all kinds of holiday facilities and activities, such as a swimming pool;
- bed and breakfast (Bed & Breakfast), a kind of small hotels, with no hot meal and often personal service; Guest houses are much like Bed and Breakfast; Guest houses often offer more service, such as extra meals;
- youth hostels or hostels, initially intended mainly for young people, but now also open to families or older individual travellers: a kind of simple hotels where the tourist has less privacy: many facilities including often bedrooms and/or sanitary facilities are shared;
- camper van sites, places to park a camper van with minimal facilities; unlike 'wild camping', there is slightly more security due to social control and the stay is allowed; for tents, there are similar places in Belgium and the Netherlands with likewise few facilities: bivouac zones or pole camping sites;
- private homes, whether through home exchange or not: one's own home is made temporarily available to tourists; a commercially organised variant is Airbnb;
- special group accommodation for e.g. schools, associations, such as camping farms or other large holiday homes.
