Passports and Visas
|
| A valid passport is required by all foreign visitors to Netherlands.
Travelers from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and the USA do not need a visa for visits less than 90 days. EU residents just need their EU papers to enter.

Money Matters
|
| The currency in Netherlands is euro, formerly the guilder. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and travelers checks are widely accepted throughout the country, however cash is always easier outside the large cities, so plan accordingly.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.
Be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards- in case of loss or theft this will come in handy.

Electricity
|
| Electricity in Netherlands is 220 volts, 50 cycle AC, as compared to 110 volts, 60 cycle AC in the U.S. When taking along electrical appliances, a converter and a plug adapter are needed to operate them.

Packing Tips
|
| With the exception of cold winters, the Netherlands enjoys a pleasant climate much of the year. Spring and fall can get chilly and a jacket will surely come in handy. During the summer, light linens and cotton will suffice. Warm layers should help brave the cold during the winter months.
Appropriate outdoor gear is necessary, whether skiing, hiking, skating or partaking in other activities.
