The Netherlands in 10 Days: 3 Recommended 10-day Itineraries to Netherlands

Want to see some ideas on what 10 days in the Netherlands could look like? Here are the top three 10-day Netherlands itinerary ideas to inspire your getaway.

Amsterdam, Nijmegen and Rotterdam on a single trip. Add Belgium to the itinerary, and you have a cruise of a lifetime. Wake up every morning to the stunning river vistas and scenes of traditional houses lining the waterways from your cabin window. Veer through the canals of Amsterdam, stroll through tulip fields near Haarlem, tour a recreated 19th-century Dutch village, and set sights on the country’s first town, Nijmegen. Rotterdam mixes things up with a more contemporary take. Sail through Zeeland, crossing borders into Belgium. Beers, waffles and art galore, Antwerp is the final gem of this 10-day Netherlands itinerary plan. See more cruise tours in the Netherlands.

From the most obvious destinations, like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, to lesser-known treasures such as Maastricht, and even a city in Belgium, these 10 days in the Netherlands are a wonderful melting pot of sightseeing, history and culture. Most days end with an evening sail, docking in each new city during the night. This means full days to explore your latest destination — and plenty of time for day trips in between, from wetlands to traditional windmill villages, port towns, museums, and even the country’s most southern tip.

Beaches, inspiring canal systems, low country landscapes, medieval markers and terrains littered with windmills and colorful wooden Dutch homes. Bike across countries from Amsterdam to Bruges on this cycling tour. Take your time on this adventure to really enjoy all that is around you during these 10 days, moving at your own pace through the astonishingly flat Bike Country.

Cycle past wildlife within national park habitats, sample Gouda’s famous cheese, photograph Willemstad’s fortified town, and catch a ferry from the Dutch border at Zeeland to Belgium. See more combined tours for Belgium and the Netherlands.
