The Netherlands and beyond: Canals, Windmills and Flower Fields in Virtual Reality

The Netherlands is a country that punches far above its size, a place of quiet beauty, ingenious design and a character that’s impossible to resist. From the canals of Amsterdam to the flower fields of Keukenhof and the heritage windmills that dot the countryside, this is a land shaped by water, creativity and a deep connection to its own history. With TriptoVR on your Meta Quest, you can explore the very best of the Netherlands in immersive virtual reality.

Amsterdam

The capital of the Netherlands, famous for its canals, its Golden Age history and its unique character. This journey takes you to the most typical tourist highlights but also to the favourite spots of the locals, because Amsterdam is a city best experienced from both sides. A place where history, culture and an unmistakable atmosphere come together beautifully.

Amsterdam in Winter

Amsterdam takes on a completely different character when winter arrives. The canals reflect grey skies and twinkling lights, the streets feel cosier, and the city reveals a quieter, more intimate side. Experience the Dutch capital in a new light, literally, as the short winter days create an atmosphere that’s every bit as magical as the summer version.

Keukenhof

The world-famous Garden of Europe, where millions of flowers bloom in a breathtaking spring display. From endless fields of tulips to vibrant beds of hyacinths, daffodils and lilies, this seasonal park in the heart of the Netherlands is a celebration of colour and design. Admire artistic sculptures among the gardens, the historic windmill overlooking the surrounding flower fields, and landscapes that change every year. With over 7 million bulbs planted annually and a bloom that lasts only a few weeks, Keukenhof offers a rare and unforgettable glimpse into one of the country’s most iconic traditions.

Giethoorn, Kinderdijk and Zaanse Schans

Discover the famous Dutch heritage villages, where history, craftsmanship and water shape daily life. See the windmills and wooden houses of Zaanse Schans, a living testament to the Netherlands’ early industrial power. Glide through the canals of Giethoorn, a village built on peat where water replaces roads. And finish at Kinderdijk, home to a world-famous network of windmills that has protected the low-lying lands from flooding for centuries. Together, these places tell the remarkable story of how the Dutch learned to live with water and turned that challenge into ingenuity recognised around the world.

Antwerp

Just across the border in Belgium, Antwerp is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in the region. Founded by the Franks and Frisians around the 5th century, it became a major economic centre by the 13th century. The city survived wars and was the scene of one of the fiercest battles of the Eighty Years’ War. Today, it’s a wonderful place to wander and soak in its rich history while exploring its vibrant streets.

Brussels

Belgium’s capital and the heart of the European Union, where French and Dutch cultures meet and medieval squares sit beside modern institutions. Enjoy views from Rooftop 58, admire the ornate façades of the Grand-Place, explore the Royal Palace and covered galleries. From the triumphal arch of Cinquantenaire Park to the futuristic Atomium, Brussels blends royal heritage, culture and innovation in one unforgettable city.

Cologne

Just across the German border, Cologne is a city where two thousand years of history unfold along the Rhine. See the medieval Severins Gate and the imposing towers of Cologne Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece that has watched over the city for centuries. Admire the love locks on the Hohenzollern Bridge, the colourful façades of the Fischmarkt and the Romanesque beauty of churches St. Martin and St. Gereon. Enjoy the tranquillity of the Flora botanical garden and the striking contrasts of the Rheinauhafen quarter. A city of resilience, creativity and timeless charm.
