Utrecht
Ride an intercity to Utrecht Centraal. Follow the center signs through or beside Hoog Catharijne toward Vredenburg, then walk down to Oudegracht. The canal is a better first landmark than cramming two markets and the cathedral into the first hour.

Zaanse Schans
Take a northbound local train to Zaandijk Zaanse Schans. The site’s visitor directions put the windmills about a 15-minute walk away. Follow the signs across the bridge over the Zaan and start with the river view before choosing any mill or museum ticket.

Zandvoort
Look for the train to Zandvoort aan Zee, direct or changing at Haarlem when the rail line is open. From the final station, walk to the seafront for a day built around the beach. If the planner shows a replacement bus between Haarlem and Zandvoort, save this one for another date if you want to stay on rails.

Nijmegen
Use a train to Nijmegen station and make the old center your first goal. The Grote Markt and Valkhofpark give you a walk with enough to see before you decide whether to continue down to the Waal waterfront. Pick it over Haarlem or Leiden when you’re happy to ride farther and want a river city.
