Christmas in Nederland
It seems that I have to stay in Nederland during Christmas since the tickets are already expensive to book now. Does any one have suggestions places to visit during Christmas in Nederland? I love culture and nature, but it seems that it is not a good idea to enjoy nature in winter time, so I'd skip it. Culture is the only options.Thanks so much

Nature, culture and in Amsterdam(!) Easy to join/learn. If no ice-flour another water-related event to join Sorry no undertitling when singing some Holland Festival items.If there's snow,
Some ideas, not always season-related: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=2087780&start=15

Thank you Arizona.My concern is on Dec 21-26, I am afraid there will be no museum open, and then practically I have nothing to do here. Cycling to villages in Nederland will be good idea but not in winter. In that case, some festivals - especially on Dec 25 and 26 will be very good. I am in Rotterdam area. Thanks again.

Most museums will be open except as ususal Mondays and 25 Jansuary, Christmas Day. Some close a bit earlier around.Example in the Rotterdam museum quarter: Boymans van Beuningen
Since you're very specific about timeframe and interest (though pretty broad: culture) there will for sure be posters to point out to some events.

If the weather is ok, it's great. don't be afraid for a 10 km walk.
If you consider to do so, just PM me.

Hello Arizona, thank you for your info. I will definetely contact you if I go to mid winterhoornblazen, it looks interesting. What if I only finish 2 km, is it possible? I dont have proper winter shoes, I bought a wrong one and don't intend to buy another one since this may be my last winter.I am still looking for a ticket to Greece, Lourdes seem to be too expensive. If there is no promo ticket, I'll join you for winterhoornblazen.

What if I only finish 2 km, is it possible?No Kuntarini, you have to empty the whole glass (via dolorosa, you know). Actually it's luck of the draw to meet good circumtances and it's pretty a detour. I think Greece is better. And it's better for the Greek, if you go there.
