Veendam

Netherlands

Good for those who want to slow down and see off-the-beaten-path scenery, not for those who seek fast pace or big city buzz. Best time to visit is May to September for stable weather. Budget around 300-500 RMB per person. The city is small, cross-area travel takes 10 minutes on foot. Must-see: old town and canal-side cafes. Skip the local museum — it's short and dull. Avoid eating near attractions — prices are high.
