Herengracht

Reviewed By AtlantaLex

The eastern end, near the Golden Bend, is not for raucous thrill seekers. It's quite placid, though move back, around the Rembrandt Square, and it's lively. It is centrally located--perhaps 15 minute stroll to museum square and 10 minutes to Dam Square. The city is extremely walkable--compact and flat.

The most delightful stroll along this lovely canal bank - an array of little restaurants and cafes create the most wonderful atmosphere. Just watch out you don't step into the cycle lane!!

Maasplassen, Roermond

Reviewed By 561sandir - Cranfield, United Kingdom

The walks around the lakes and water are beautiful, so is the town with the live music from the bandstand. I was recommended to come to this town as an off the beaten track and it certainly is but its also vibrant, colourful and friendly. Highly recommended

Loved the canals in this city especially when the sky is blue which created beautiful reflections in the river. Great to take your time strolling along the canal and take some good pics.

IJsselmeer (Lake IJssel)

Reviewed By KodoDrummer - Yekaterinburg, Russia

This shallow freshwater lake, or more correctly inland bay created by the building of the Afsluitdijk [dam] completed in 1932, has a surface area of about 1,100 square kilometres. This largest lake in the Netherlands is feed primarily by waters from the River Ijssel. Its surface elevation is 40 cm below sea level. The lakes maximum depth is 7 metres and has an average depth of 5.5 metres. The lake is home to many boats, especially sailboats. We went for an enjoyable boat ride on the lake, and enjoyed the great views and energizing fresh air.
