I've lived in the Netherlands for 15 years. Skip Amsterdam and head to these charming, lesser-known places.
As someone who's lived in the Netherlands for years, I love exploring charming towns and villages here. My favorites include Veere and Warmond.
Dana Marin, who has lived in the Netherlands for 15 years, shares her favorite lesser-known towns and villages she loves to visit. She speaks highly of Warmond, a village surrounded by lakes and rich history. Warmond features the grand Huys te Warmont estate with a moat and elegant forest park, as well as the old school-turned-restaurant, Old School Café.
Another favorite is Medemblik, the oldest town in West Friesland, known for its medieval castle and a historic steam train ride. Veere in Zeeland is also noteworthy, with a Scottish history, a bakery museum, and a waterfront promenade. Lastly, Monnickendam is highlighted for its romantic canals, port, and the annual Jan Haring Race boat race.
