Netherlands At A Glance

I honestly believe our vacation to Amsterdam is one of the best family trips that I’ve planned, and I share ALL the details in a day-by-day plan below!

For families visiting from the United States, it’s an easy introduction to visiting a European city as many residents speak English and most museums and restaurants include written English along with Dutch.  

A tall building with a brick facade features several windows with bright red, arched shutters. A bare tree stands in the foreground, and a black van is parked in front. The sky is overcast, giving a moody atmosphere.
