Automatic vending machines for burgers, chips (fries) and croquettes. It's pretty cheap and pretty terrible. But if you're hungry, everything else is closed and you don't fancy a night shop rip-off, then needs must when the devil vomits into your kettle (c) Blackadder. Not a huge range for vegetarians. Situated all over town. I've only ever had...

With it's 185 metres at the highest point, the Euromast is the tallest tower of the Netherlands that's open for the public to visit. I went there in May 2015 and it exceded my expectations. The view was really beautiful and luckily for us the weather was good for once.

...it closed about 70 years ago :-( For an absolutely fascinating day out from Maastricht a visit to the "caves" at St Pietersberg is a must. These so-called "caves" are in fact the tunnels created by the excavations of marl, a type of limestone, used locally as a building material - in fact much of Maastricht's Old City was constructed using it,...

Because of its location and diverse modern history Maastrichters have developed a dialect unique to the city which is heavily influence by Belgian and German and even has some French and Spanish minor roots. It differs from Standard Dutch not just in intonation but also regards vocabularly in that there are some terms which do not translate...

The Stadthuis is one of the three buildings which really stand out on Haarlem's Grote Markt (the others being St Bavo and the Vleeshal). It stands on the west of the square.

The Domtower is 112 meter high, and more than 600 years old. Between the tower and the church is a square. This is quite unusual, normally the tower is a part of the church. The tower was separated from the church in 1674 when a hurricane destroyed about half the city and a big part of the church. The tower survived...... It's really worthwile...

Here you'll find a peculiar atmosphere: this Belgian cafe is in an old ex-church! The ceiling is then very high, and the organ is still there along with some statues. You can go for a meal or just a beer. They have a wide assortment of bier, as in the best belgian tradition and the food is also very good. On top of all this the staff was very...

There is so much to see in the New Church, maybe too much to mention. We walked our way up to the mausoleum of William the Silent and the private royal family crypt. After we had a good look at both beautiful artifacts we headed towards the choir isle of the church, which has a various number of mausoleums. One of them in the one of Hugo Grotius....

Just world-famous for its blue and white pottery, porcelain and ceramics Delft cannot be left without visiting a Delft Blue shop. You may find beautiful small Delft Blue products for your kitchen,...

Warm ambiance and Latin decor don't make a meal. The guacamole contained only mashed avocado - where was the minced onion, the garlic, the cayenne pepper, tomato bits? Or even just salsa? The food was bland with no discernable flavours. Latin American food should be very falvourful and spicy, not full of cabbage. The mojito was watery with too much...

Den Bosch is circled by typical Dutch canals and the boat tours of the canals are operated in small boats powered by a small motor that take about 16 people. There is a choice of two trips - one takes 40 minutes and one takes over one hour - we chose the shorter journey and the cost was €6. Tickets are bought from a ticket office across the street...
