Hanseatic cities in the Netherlands

Discover the real Holland in our special Hanze cities. In the Middle Ages, when Amsterdam and Rotterdam were still small villages, the mighty Hanseatic cities emerged as the country's most important trading towns. The similarity? The Dutch Hanseatic cities are located on the water (because: important for trade!). The prosperity and wealth they enjoyed back then is reflected today in their thousands of monuments, authentic architecture, imposing buildings and impressive city walls. Each Hanseatic city in the Netherlands is unique in its own way.
