Packing Lists: Heading for the Low Lands
  • Tip Rating:
  • Luggage And Bags: Pack ligth, we do most of our travel by public transport.
    Traffic is dense in the West side of the country, so think twice before having a rental car (Lack of parking space is the next thing).

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A weather jacket and walking shoes.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: If you bring "funny" looking pills, better bring your family doctor's presciption with you.

    Photo Equipment: Do not come without a camera!


    Miscellaneous: 1) At least bring your passport; some of you need a Visa too.
    2) Transportation: Public transportation is great. Trains, busses, trams, metro, ferries
    3) Money and/or credit card. You need some money on hand; ATMs are everywhere.
    4) Phonenumbers: Calling home from here: 00-country code-etc.
    5) Electrical adapter: 230 Volts at 50Hz with European plug outline.
