5 Best Cities in the Netherlands for the Solo Traveler

ymryk
A major advantage that solo travelers have when they set out to plan a trip to Europe is that they are not tied down by what anyone else wants to do. The Netherlands has always been popular for solo travelers – it’s a classic for a reason! Something many travelers keep in mind these days is the impact on the environment that their travels leaves. One country where you don’t need to worry about that is the Netherlands! The Netherlands has a well earned reputation as a country making great strides on the environmental front.

Amsterdam

As a solo traveler trying to plan a trip to Europe, Amsterdam is a must! It is a city with tons to do, both day and night! Home to countless world renowned museums, you could spend weeks just exploring them. Pay a visit to Museumplein for some of Amsterdam’s most famous museums such as the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum. Make sure to make time for some of Amsterdam’s more “offbeat” museums such as the Kattenkabinet, a canal house-turned-cat museum by Bob Meijer in honor of his dead cat.

Consider renting a bike, as it is an extremely popular mode of transport in this environmentally conscious city. If you’re really a green freak, take a trip to Krommenie, just on the outskirts of Amsterdam, to see their innovative successful SolaRoad, whose riders generate electric power!

If you are planning to travel to Chile for the first time, there are probably a thousand things you would like to know before visiting the country. Let’s go through the main 10 things you need to know!

Visa and Vaccines

As in almost all South American countries, no visa is required for stays of less than 3 months. There is no particular area to be proscribed in the country, but it is always interesting to have a look at the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for last-minute information about security and seismic risks. No vaccinations are required to travel to Chile. Tap water is usually not drinkable everywhere, inform yourself before.

When is the best time go

Chile’s climate is subjected to its large north-south extent and thus to its differences in latitude, as well as to the influence of maritime currents from the Pacific Ocean. In the north, the weather is dry and relatively temperate. In the centre, the climate is more Mediterranean, with rainfall lasting from May to August and temperatures of 28°C in January. Finally, in the south you will encounter more[……]
