Kurzbeschreibung
Dieses Land ist ein Phänomen: Seine Bürger können im Rahmen des nationalen Gesundheitssystems eine Geschlechtsumwandlung finanziert bekommen und Hilde und ihre beiden Väter können gemeinsam bei einem Joint feiern, dass auch sie auf Jungs steht - gleichzeitig wird in beinahe jedem Haushalt sofort nach dem Essen abgespült. Die Niederlande haben das Kunststück vollbracht, eine liberale Einstellung mit einer der geordnetsten Gesellschaften der Welt zu kombinieren. Sie haben ein Gemeinwesen gegründet, das gleichzeitig radikal und vernünftig ist, ohne je albern oder bieder zu sein. Auch wenn Fahrräder, Deiche, Windmühlen und Tulpenfelder außerhalb der großen Städte völlig normal sind, lassen sich die Holländer keineswegs auf ihre Klischees reduzieren.
Für Besucher der Niederlande funktioniert die Verbindung von Clogs und Mikrochips ganz hervorragend. Das Land ist ausgesprochen leicht zu bereisen, seine Bewohner sind freundlich und sprechen sehr gut Deutsch oder Englisch. Auf der anderen Seite sind die Städte noch immer von Kanälen und Festungsmauern umgeben; die endlose flache Landschaft, die schon die frühen Künstler des Landes inspirierte, erstreckt sich noch immer in alle Richtungen bis zum Horizont und die Deiche drohen noch immer gelegentlich nachzugeben.

Format:Taschenbuch
I had heard a lot of positive things about the Lonely Planet in general, that's why I bought it, but this guide was really disappointing. We just have been to Amsterdam, Texel, Den Haag and Rotterdam and can't say anything about the other parts of the Netherlands described in the Lonely Planet, but I don't see why the other parts of the Netherlands should be covered in any other way than where we have been.
- The maps in the guide were horrible. Though I can understand the decision to include only detailed maps of the city center in a guide, in whom you have to fit the whole of the Netherlands, I cannot even try to guess why you wouldn't name every street on these maps. Bad enough if you are just walking through the city and wondering if you have taken the right turnoff as you just don't know it, because the streets have no names on the map, but it is definitely worse if you are traveling by car. We always took the wrong turn or missed the street were we wanted to drive as some streets had no names. Unless you have a better map than the ones included in the guide or a GPS in your car, it is a frustrating experience to drive through all these cities.
- The recommendations for nightclubs, bars, restaurants and so on were just ok. Some venues were nice, some 'special tips' awful and some obvious stuff was missing for e.g. no word about the Leidseplein in Amsterdam.
- One nice aspect to highlight were the walking tours. They have been enjoyable in every city where we have been.
- The rest of the guide wasn't too bad either. There were enough options to choose from for staying over night and a fair amount of cultural activities to visit too. However, nothing you wouldn't expect from any other traveling guide too.
Overall conclusion:
Not too bad, but I expected more from the series. If the maps had been better it would even have been a mean traveling guide and would got 3 stars , but so I only give 2 and recommend that you buy another guide or at least don't stick with the Lonely Planet exclusively.

Disappointment with Lonely Planet
16. Oktober 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
We were disappointed with this book. The maps were almost unreadable. Information attached to them was confusing. Street addresses were sometimes wrong. The written tone was unhelpful and unappealing. No more Lonely Planet for us.

Lonely Planet the Netherlands (Lonely Planet Travel Guides)
I bought this book because my Dutch girlfriend was interested to see what the LP covered in her native land.
I've been using this guide for a few months to give me an idea of what cities and places in the Netherlands I would want to visit. It's a good resource for planning my sight-seeing, but after that I prefer to use HostelWorld.com and the local VVV offices for lodging and maps. The VVV maps are usually more detailed than the LP maps anyway

A very disappointing Lonely Planet Guide
22. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Most Lonely Planet Guides that I have used in the past had an excellent selection of accommodations and restaurants for a range of budgets. "The Netherlands" LP guide falls far short of expectation in these areas. Their selections are unremarkable and seem to be poorly researched.
Another area of disappointment is the print quality of the city map sections. The monochrome renditions are extremely hard to read and find landmarks on and are thus of little practicle value to the average tourist.
