Enchanting 17th century towns and colorful bulb fields. The steam train between Hoorn and Medemblik is a nostalgic experience, the view over the Dutch landscape with beautiful farms and 17th century towns is unique and photogenic.

Breda, Willemstad, Woudrichem and Loevestein Castle
Fortified towns with a joie de vivre and impressive fortifications on the water. Military academy in a castle of the Nassau family. But also tranquil, lush courtyards. Hugo Grotius, who wrote international law, fled from the enemy in a book chest from Loevestein Castle.
