The Netherlands trip combined city time and race-week energy. I came in through Schiphol and moved through Amsterdam, with repeated stops around Sloterdijk, Centraal Station, Rokin, and the Royal Palace area. It was the kind of visit where transit hubs and city streets blended into one continuous walk across canals, plazas, and station corridors.
Beyond Amsterdam, I spent meaningful time in Zaandam and then at Circuit Zandvoort, which became one of the defining locations of the trip. There were also meaningful moments in Utrecht that added variety to the trip. Overall, it felt like a very active visit with equal parts urban exploration and motorsport focus.
