  Hi - I'm looking for recommendations for outings to see tulips, windmills and cheese tasting! I'm new to the Netherlands and have friends coming to visit from the USA - all of us would like to see some of the iconic attractions. Also - any recommendations for 'must-see' towns? Thank you in advance! I live in the Hague, but departure/destination can be targeted from Amsterdam as well. (they'll have a hotel in AMS, so we're lucky with departure points :)) Timeframe: Mid March Do you recommend tours or independent exploration? - I don't have a car but we could rent one I've read the flower fields are by the coast between Leiden & Haarlem - is it easy to drive up close to them to get a 'wow' view ? I've also read about the Keukenhof gardens...supposedly spectacular. Tour, drive? Can bikes be rented to tour the gardens? Cheese - any recommendations for cheese farm tours &/or tastings? Windmills? Spectacular locations for great photos? Any tips to combine the flower fields, windmills, cheese and wow sights within a couple days? :) I'd appreciate any tips, recommendations since I am unfamiliar with all of this.

  Inta, you can take the train to Lisse and rent bikes from there to see the tulips and Keukenhoff. Kinderdijk is amazing for windmill pics. I'm not a fan of tours however I did take a Food tour in Amsterdam in the Jordan neighborhood that was lovely. You aren't going to be able to get Anne Franke tickets now but if you show up about 90 minutes before closing on a week day you can usually get in. Delft is a lovely little town and only a tram #1 ride away. If you need more ideas let me know.

  I went to keukenhof last year in the first week and there were no tulips!!! No tulips fields at all! So try to investigate if the tulips are there, so you dont waste time and money!
