A good place to start is when to go to the Netherlands! It should definitely be summer!
What to see in the Netherlands:
- Rotterdam can be used as a place to settle down. It is conveniently centrally located and will require at least 2-3 days of sightseeing in the city itself. Getting to neighbouring towns is easy and quick by train.
- Delft and The Hague can be visited in 1 day. Stroll through the streets of Delft and have lunch at the Market Square. Take a train or tram to The Hague. There you can explore the castle complex and walk out onto the North Sea promenade!
- Amsterdam can easily be explored in 1 day. On the way you can pop into a cheese shop in Gouda (nothing else to do in Gouda). Amsterdam is interesting for its architecture and canal city structure - a mix of Venice (Italy) and Wroclaw/Krakow (Poland). Daytime walking tour of the centre. In the evening visit the legendary Red Light District.
What to try in the Netherlands? Of course cheese - hard and noble mould!
