Metamorphosis.

Surroundings Delft – What to see
Delft has a worldwide reputation due to its connection with Johannes
Vermeer. The Vermeer Centre in Delft offers a visual voyage of
discovery through the life, work and city of the painter. By the way his
major masterpieces are to be found at the Gemeentemuseum in The
Hague, which is hosting a temporary collection from the Mauritshuis
Museum (now partly closed due to expansion and renovation).
Unfortunately the famous painting ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ (usually on
display at the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague) is now on
tour in Italy.
What makes this city also a tourist attraction is
the renowned Delftware. Royal Delft is the only
remaining factory of the 32 earthenware factories
that were established in Delft in the 17th century.
Delftware was and is not made from the typical
porcelain clay – used for the Chinese porcelain –
but from clay that is coated with a tin glaze after it
was fired.

Surroundings Rotterdam – What to see
Rotterdam, the second-largest city in the Netherlands after Amsterdam, has many faces: a tough port city, a
trendy nightlife city, a sophisticated shopping city, and a hip artistic city.
One of the icons of Rotterdam are the cubic houses designed by Piet Blom in 1984. 40 conventional houses
were tilted 45 degrees to become the first cube-shaped
houses in Holland. The cubes are prominently located in the
center of Rotterdam and are all occupied except for one,
which is always open to visitors.
The best-known museums in town and two of
Holland’s most sophisticated art museums are
the Boijmans van Beuningen and the
Kunsthal, both located on the Museumpark in
Rotterdam.

Surroundings Rotterdam – What to see
Rotterdam is also known as Manhattan on the Meuse, because of its impressive skyline. When it comes
down to the architecture, this city has a fantastic reputation, and that is no wonder that the Netherlands
Architecture Institute (NAi) was also founded here.
Among the numerous buildings are to be mentioned:
the Erasmus Bridge
The Van Nelle Design Factory (once a coffee, tea and tobacco factory,
nowadays it houses offices, workspaces
and many events)
the NAi building
the Hotel New York
(once the starting place of ships directed to the “promised land”, America, nowadays the
building hosts a restaurant, a bar, an outdoor café as well as
a hotel and maintains the original architecture and interior style.)

Surroundings Amsterdam – What to see
Amsterdam, the capital city and also the most populous within the Kingdom of The Netherlands, combines
its history together with a modern metropolis mentality. Exactly this fusion makes the city so unique.
With over 60 museums, Amsterdam has the highest museum density in the world… just to give you a short
summary of it:
• the Van Gogh Museum
• the National Rijksmuseum (where are to be found among others Vermeer and Rembrandt masterpieces)
• the Hermitage Amsterdam
• the Anne Frank House
If you have the chance, have a walk along the canals. They are the
symbol of the city and have a cultural as well as a historical value. In
2010 the World Heritage Committee decided to submit the 17th century
canal ring area in Amsterdam to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) is
one of the most picturesque bridges
of Amsterdam, and at night it is
romantically illuminated.

Surroundings Amsterdam – What to see/Worth seeing places
Not far away from Amsterdam (around 20 km)
there is Zaanse Schans, an historic village that
with its traditional houses, windmills, warehouses
and workshops, offers a preserved glimpse of
what it was like to live in the Netherlands in the
18th and 19th centuries.
The village is built in the typically Dutch wooden
architectural style, relocated here piece by piece
since 1961.
Here are to be found six windmills (performing various
functions, including a saw mill, a paint mill, and oil
mill), a wooden shoe workshop, a cheese farm and
much more.
Transportation: Zaanse Schans is easy to reach from
Amsterdam's Central Station. A 15-minute train ride
will take you to Koog-Zaandijk and it's a 10-minute
walk from the station.
