Netherlands, 7 Days · Tailor-made by car

The Dutch Icons Route

A must-do trip to soak up the essence of Holland while discovering its urban and rural charms and its picture-postcard landscapes

Get ready to embark upon the Dutch Icons Tour, an amazing road trip through this fascinating country full of typical icons and breathtaking scenery. Get ready to cruise along its canals, discover the nation's tireless fight against the sea, marvel at the legacy of its historical and architectural heritage, admire world-class art and renowned museums, or cycle through idyllic landscapes dotted with farms, verdant meadows and old windmills. What's more, gourmands will learn about how the country's famous cheeses and beers are made, as well as enjoying the many Michelin-starred restaurants here. Holland is a land of historic cities brimming with fashionable boutiques, great restaurants and wonderful canalside terraces. And it's also full of characterful villages full of traditions and a fabulous past, having once lived off fishing and a complex yet groundbreaking drying system. Discover from behind the wheel a country that's home to major artists such as Van Gogh, beautiful markets, and kaleidoscopic tulip fields that each spring turn the country into a sea of flowers. Make sure you take home some bulbs, traditional clogs, some delicious cheese or a piece of the well-known Delft Blue pottery. Come and explore to Holland by car and discover its most authentic side.

Important remarks

- To avoid queues and crowds, you can book tickets to the most outstanding museums and exhibition halls online and in advance. We recommend trying to visit the museums early in the morning or in the afternoon. To obtain discounts on tickets and save yourself from having to queue, you can purchase cards such as the Holland Pass, the Museumkaart, the I Amsterdam City Card or the Rotterdam Welcome Card. Many museums offer special discounts for minors, students and pensioners.

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
