Planning a trip from the US to the Netherlands?

<h3>Planning a trip from the US to the Netherlands?</h3>

In a few months from now, I am planning a trip from the US to the Netherlands. Landing in Amsterdam but will be spending most my time in Rotterdam. I need to know, besides the obvious passport, what exactly I will need to be able to go there. Also, I am planning to take a small trip from there to Paris, France while I am there as well.

Thanks for any advice/help!


<strong>Netherlands best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Jamie</i><br/>Just money, and maybe a map (or just a phone with internet). Trains are pretty good in Holland and Europe in general. You can probably book some train tickets in advance to save money if you know your dates.</p>

Went out with a ranger to look for flamingo's in the Netherlands before they fly south. It was a beautiful warm after summer's day on a boat :)</p>
