Purchased this prior to my first trip to Holland and was not disappointed. It helped to plan out my first trip and I have used it for subsequent visits. It provides detailed information on different cities and what highlights should be seen along with the historical information as well. Huge fan of the Rough Guides!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction into all the places to see in Netherlands, May 9, 2008

This review is from: The Rough Guide to The Netherlands 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

It is a good book to start exploring the Netherlands. It contains important information about what you must not miss, details about most important cities and places of interest.

But Netherlands has so many things to show, I believe it would be impossible to get them all into a book of this size, which you can still carry with you :)

Overall, it is a good insight on Netherlands. Very good for people who want to spend 1 to 4 weeks in Netherlands. Although if you have more time and want to see and find out more about this beautiful place, you'll have to just ride your bike or go by car from town to town, because all the nice and interesting places do not fit in any book of this size.
