De Hoge Veluwe National Park would be a fantastic place to visit for its marshlands and forest alone but its brilliant museum makes it unmissable. It will be hard to give up a day in Amsterdam for anything else, but make a trip to the Kroller-Muller Museum in Otterlo, about six miles from the Dutch city of Arnhem and easily accessible by bus and train from Amsterdam. Its stellar Vincent Van Gogh collection, with 93 paintings and 183 drawings, plus superb works by Seurat, Monet, Gauguin, Picasso, Gris, Courbet, Corot, Millet, Mondrian, and more will give you everything you came for, but you’ll be surprised at everything else.
