Overview

Think you can become Dutch in 7 challenges?
Eat herring like a local, toast jenever without your hands, decode canal houses, survive a Dutch birthday, and learn what gezellig really means.

You’ll leave with a deeper connection to the city, a belly full of bites, and a few stories your friends won’t believe.
