UNESCO stands for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. One of its most important tasks? Selecting and protecting places of global significance—called World Heritage Sites. These include natural wonders, historical landmarks, and cultural achievements.
The Netherlands is home to over ten of them, each reflecting a part of Dutch history, innovation, or landscape.
In the Netherlands, two of these are within your reach:
- Kinderdijk: A masterpiece of Dutch water management, with 18th-century windmills still in motion
- The Wadden Sea: Europe’s last natural tidal system, where land, sea and sky constantly shift
These two sites tell the story of the Dutch and their timeless relationship with water—carefully engineered in Kinderdijk, wild and free in the Wadden Sea.
Explore both on a relaxed small-group tour, or let us design a custom day trip just for you. It’s the perfect way to experience the real Netherlands—authentic, scenic, and far from the crowds.
