Tour select windmills and heritage workshops.
Short canal views for traditional scenes.

Afternoon: Tulip fields

Head to Lisse/Hillegom via train + bus or guided tour.
Choose an easy loop with firm paths.
Sunset photos among color bands.

Bottom line

A balanced day — heritage in the morning, flowers in the afternoon — gives you a full Netherlands palette.
