This quaint city in the western Netherlands is ornate, with small canals, green parks, rivers and old, but intact, monuments.

Step back through history to the medieval times of cut-throat deceptions and power politics when you visit this hilltop castle that overlooks the Rhine. 

Once full of cattle and sheep for sale, this pretty square overlooking a canal is now the starting point for canal boat cruises and a great spot for morning coffee.
