Netherlands

The Netherlands, a Land of Contrasts That Will Surely Appeal to Your Team

Although the name of the Netherlands comes from its land being below sea level, it is still a country with plenty of green expanses. This natural richness has greatly inspired illustrious painters such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Jan Steen, Karel Appel, etc. It would be a shame to visit Holland without taking a detour into the countryside to discover the tulip fields! Regarding this, the tulips bloom during the last two weeks of April. Therefore, you can enjoy this fabulous spectacle if your corporate retreat occurs during this period ! This interaction with nature will re-energize your team and allow them to recharge with oxygen to better face the professional world's challenges. It would also be a shame not to take photos with the famous Dutch windmills! You could then visit the 18th-century windmills at Kinderdijk, which are also UNESCO World Heritage listed and showcase the Dutch expertise in water management. If your corporate trip program is tight on time, it's possible to see some windmills at Zaanse Schans, near Amsterdam, though less charming than Kinderdijk, it must be admitted! However, it adds excitement to your team retreat in the Netherlands.

Welcoming Cities Where Tradition and Modernity Coexist

The Dutch cities are also worth a visit. First and foremost, there is Amsterdam, a major economic hub in Europe. It is, therefore, logical that many corporate offsites are organized there. We regularly organize team retreats in the Netherlands in this city. On the sidelines of professional meetings, participants will have the opportunity to explore the Dutch capital. It's a chance for them to admire Flemish architecture and culture through its narrow, high brick houses. They can rent a bicycle to get lost in its neighborhoods and along its famous canals, like the Prinsengracht canal. It's also possible to have a pleasant time in one of the city's many coffee shops. Come evening, your team can party in the bars of the famous Red Light District. Why not take advantage of the corporate trip to introduce your team to the beauty of art? Because the Dutch capital is full of museums as interesting as each other. Notably, there's the famous Van Gogh Museum, Moco, or the Rijksmuseum. And during a break, your coworkers can enjoy raw herring while relaxing on the lawns of Vondelpark. They can even escape to Rotterdam to admire the famous Kijk-Kubus. These are yellow cubic houses with out-of-the-ordinary architecture. The country's second city also offers a visit to the old Delfshaven neighborhood to discover its typical houses and canals.

End Your Offsite in Beauty and Flavor

But the Netherlands is not just a country of canals, museums, and windmills. Indeed, the local cuisine is also worth the detour! Starting with the famous Edam and Gouda cheeses, whose reputation goes far beyond the country's borders. It's the perfect opportunity for participants in this corporate retreat in the Netherlands to take these taste wonders home as gifts for their loved ones. And if they have time, they can continue with a tasting of the famous Dutch herring in a fishermen's village in Volendam. To finish, you can invite your offsite participants to a relaxation day on the beautiful white sand beaches of the Zeeland region. It's even possible to do water sports on the beaches of Brouwersdam or Domburg.
