Enjoy a high-speed whistlestop tour of the Netherlands this autumn and take advantage of bargain weekend rates.

The high-speed train service Fyra is the most convenient, most frequent and fastest connection between the major cities of the Randstad. Here, we have put together a few tips on unmissable sights in these top cities.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam combines characteristic Dutch quaintness with a grand historic city centre that consists of magnificent canals and intimate squares. The city is also known for its relaxed, tolerant atmosphere and world-renowned museums. A visit to the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum is highly recommended.
The city has plenty of attractions for the whole family. Visit Madame Tussauds to get up close and personal with one of your heroes. Or see what lies in wait at The Amsterdam Dungeon!
The NEMO science centre provides a good combination of learning and fun games, with the Dutch East India Company ship – part of the Maritime Museum’s collection – moored right next to the centre.
Fyra takes you from Rotterdam to the heart of Amsterdam in less than three quarters of an hour!
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a true metropolis. The imposing skyline is visible long before you reach the centre, giving the city a majestic appearance. Rotterdam is famous for its architecture both nationally and internationally, with many examples of innovative style.
The famous Cube houses are well worth a visit, not forgetting to include the Show Cube, which gives you an idea of the interior of these unusual dwellings.
The main exhibition on the autumn 2011 programme at the Kunsthal is entitled ‘Mummies! The Unravelled Secret’. This spectacularly designed exhibition incorporates around 225 objects that provide a fascinating insight into the burial rituals of ancient Egypt.
A number of art and sculpture exhibitions are also running at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen. In Rotterdam you literally bump into art and culture round every corner. Enjoy a feast for the eyes and ears at a stirring concert at de Doelen, the charming galleries on Witte de Withstraat or one of the many concert halls and theatres.
Shoppers can indulge themselves to their heart’s content in Rotterdam. The shops in the centre are open 7 days a week. Rotterdam has something for everyone, from exclusive brands to popular chain stores, from megastore to small boutique, under cover to quaint shopping streets.
So, more than enough reasons to visit the city. Travelling by Fyra from Amsterdam gets you to the centre of Rotterdam in just 45 minutes.
Breda
The city centre with its beautiful buildings defines Breda‘s image. The city has a rich history, striking modern architecture, fantastic shopping streets as well as fascinating museums and exhibitions.
But, surprisingly given all this, Breda has a homely almost village-like appeal. It is a typical Brabant city, boasting Burgundian restaurants and a vibrant night life.
The old and the new mingle comfortably together in Breda, as both historic and modern buildings sit alongside one another. The Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk is renowned as one of the most beautiful churches or indeed buildings in the Netherlands.
However, modern culture has not been left behind and finds its expression in the Chassé Theater and the Graphic Design Museum that will be hosting a number of fascinating exhibitions throughout November, such as the Graphic Detour, Everydaygraphics and Comix, Hotpix & Tragix .
A visit to Breda will not leave you disappointed! Travelling by Fyra takes you from Rotterdam to Breda in a short half hour.
