Drive up north to the city of Groningen. With lots of students around, it has a very positive vibe plus it's a bit cheaper than other cities in the Netherlands.

When travelling to the Netherlands passing cars on the right side is not allowed.. keep driving right so cars can pass on the left side. Make sure a car stops before using a cross walk... it is not like Canada where most people stop

Go and see the flower fields and the area in the north of Holland with the canals, little Venice of the north, they call it. Don't miss Amsterdam, The Hague, and if you like modern: Rotterdam. Great Museums, and food for all tastes in the big cities. Enjoy this great little country.

With your rental car go see Holland while it is still above water. As most of the country lies below sea level, when the threat of climate change continues, and the sea levels keep rising, there will eventually be serious problem. So enjoy this lovely little country and it canals, beautiful houses and green fields while it is still there! Do rent with Budget/Avis, as at least you will not have to worry about the car. This company and their cars are perfect and will give you an enjoyable drive throw the Lower Lands!!

Arrival at Schiphol is quite quick with automated passport readers. Juggling passport baggage, coats and specs can be a bit of a problem. The airport is very big so allow plenty of time to find your way around. once through passport control there is a vast array of shopping and food vendors. The signage is pretty good to find the way to courtesy coaches etc. In departures facilities are good with quick and easy automated check in. The security screening is especially good,where nothing needs to be taken out of bags for screening. Staff are friendly and helpful.

This car rental was by far a better vehicle in Amsterdam, then our week previous car rental in Ireland. In Ireland we opted into paying for an automatic due to driving on the wrong side of road etc. We were very disappointed with that car, one the car wasn't as comfortable and no arm rest so I kept leaning into the driver. Not very worth the extra we paid. The car we got through you we hadn't heard of before, but we were very happy, and will definitely get it again.

- Rent a bike in Amsterdam; it's a relatively small city center and the best way to explore the city like the locals do. - You shouldn't miss the canal boat tours - For a real local bar, go to "Dijk 120" at the Zeedijk 120 in the Red Light district - For local shopping, go to the Albert Cuypmarkt or Waterlooplein market - Check online offers for discount in restaurants - If it's hot, go to the beach in Zandvoort or Bloemendaal aan Zee

Museum shops inside airport, last chance to get souvenirs there if failed to shop at Rijksmuseum. Yotel and Mercure hotel are available and good for transit for long flight. Taxi to city is not too expensive for a group of 3-5, we took Tesla model X to city at less than Euro45. Airport signs are not too adequate take note which departure hall to go, though these are connected inside immigration. Wifi is great and simple to use. AH supermarket is very popular in city, and one in airport too.

The best way to get to know a country is to dig in the culture of the country.. Typical Dutch things that you have to do is eating: bitterballen/kroketten, haring, dropjes, stroopwafels, hagelslag, frikandel speciaal, pannekoeken, poffertjes and in the winter a Dutch stampot! The must see city of course is Amsterdam, enough to see and do over there! Go the Dutch way and rent a bicycle! Another must do is the Efteling! An amazing theme park for young and old! And when you don’t have to much time, but still want to see a lot of Holland, go to Madurodam! Holland in miniature!

Pre-book car hire and take your own additional insurance. Consider the use of personal wifi/internet, this allows you to use your phone and sat nav. Research your destination and car parking due to parking costs. Visit the Red Light Area of Amsterdam both during the day and night, take in the atmosphere Visit the WWI sites, remember those who cave so much. Take a boat trip down the many canals and see the history of Amsterdam

Despite this airport is getting busier by the year, it's well managed and offer lots of facilities and services also to families with children. Ensure you arrive as early as possible and have an enjoyable stay like you would by going to any other large shopping mall with great dining and drinking locations. This will guarantee a much more relaxed start of your family holidays or return flight back home ;-)

Easy to access. Public transport available for every look and corner of the country with well connected bus and trains. Free and fast one hour wifi available. Directions to all the necessary services are clearly indicated. Childcare facilities are available at all most all the rest rooms. Clean airport and most of the people speak english and will help you without any reservations. Really like the directions to official taxi. I also liked the "IAMSTERDAM" in front of the building. Only bad thing is the unofficial taxi drivers pampering tourists as soon as you come out of the plaza. During peak hours, Travel by public transport is much faster than traveling by taxi

prepare your stay, and the Dappert market or Albert Kuip market is almost a must.

Or the huge Obelisk of Baarn/soestdijk. Or the Spinoza Museum, etc etc. all historic icons and places we previously visited to enjoy and to learn something.
