Solo in Amsterdam, I explored by boat and on foot, saw a bit of the countryside, discovered tasty new treats, and fell in love with the city.

I was in Den Bosch for five days. I could have stayed a month. It’s perfect for solo travelers. Interesting, safe, beautiful and culturally rich.

On my first trip to the Netherlands, I fell in love with the canals in Amsterdam. Though it was grey and rainy, it didn’t detract from the beauty.

Not only is The Netherlands a great destination for solo travelers but it’s also a great destination for garden lovers. Here’s a primer on Dutch Wave gardens in Holland.

Safe, fun, lively, easy to get around: this Solo Travel Society member loved Amsterdam.
