I am looking for some guidance on where to stay in the Netherlands and for how long! It's my first time there this summer so will be looking at the main sights. I want a mix of atmospheres. I'm traveling with my husband and our 11 month old so I don't necessarily want to take several hour+ long day day trips, but wouldn't mind staying in different areas to make excursions shorter.
Here is what I have for an itinerary so far. I changed The Hague to Delft after reading Rick Steves' recommendation.
Day 1 Arrive Amsterdam 1pm/ Stay in Delft
Day 2 Delft
Day 3 Delft/Utrech
Day 4 Utrecht
Day 5 Utrecht
Day 6 Giethoorn
Day 7 Amsterdam
Day 8 Amsterdam
Day 9 Amsterdam
Day 10 Amsterdam- 10pm flight
Any feedback on the amount of time in each city and if I'm staying in good cities would be much appreciated! I would also like to visit the Hague and maybe Kinderdijk. Other short day trip recommendations? Would it be too much to add one long day trip to Brussels?
