While Amsterdam’s popularity is well-deserved, travelers who don’t venture outside the city are missing out on some of Europe’s most charming countryside. And in a country as tiny as the Netherlands, day-tripping is easy to do. Within a half-hour of leaving Amsterdam’s main train station, you can be deep in the Dutch countryside — awash with tulips, red-brick houses, quaint waterways, and black-and-white cows.
Emily, who currently lives in Berlin, decided to take the train to Holland when she found out I was going to be there as well. At first I thought ‘Oh great, she booked a ticket to Amsterdam!’ but then I found out she booked a ticket to Enschede of all places. A little bit longer than a half-hour, but totally worth the trip!
Enschede is the largest city in the Twente region and is located in the Overijssel province of the Netherlands. This green city is surrounded by nature and is an excellent place for cycling, walkin, horseback riding and playdates. In 2003 Enschede was even named the greenest city in Holland!
Get inspired by these stunning photo’s taken by Emily Kornya. Her very first time in the Netherlands!
