Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay by a day to explore the nearby dunes of **Scheveningen** for coastal sunrise photography or to take a longer hike in the **Hoge Veluwe National Park**. Conversely, you can condense the itinerary by skipping Delft and focusing solely on Rotterdam and Kinderdijk, which reduces travel time while still delivering a rich blend of urban and rural photo opportunities.
