It will take you to some of the most Instagrammable places in South Holland, including Rotterdam, The Hague and Leiden. OVpay provides an easy, and quick way to travel by tram, metro or bus, ensuring you will have snapped plenty of pretty pictures by the end of the day.
Good morning
Modern vibes in Rotterdam
After World War II, the center of Rotterdam was almost completely rebuilt. The absence of a traditional monumental city center allowed for experiments with various architectural styles and daring designs. Examples of this are the striking Cube Houses near Blaak and the Erasmus Bridge. In recent years, the city has added even more remarkable buildings, including the Central Station, the Markthal, and the new depot of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
Good afternoon
Stately, elegant The Hague
The Hague has played a prominent role as a governmental center since the Middle Ages, resulting in a stately and elegant ambiance in many parts of the city. This is reflected at the Binnenhof, the Noordeinde Palace, and in beautiful avenues like the Lange Voorhout. An additional treat is a tram ride towards Scheveningen, where you can take photos at the iconic Kurhaus or amidst the impressive pillars of the Pier.
Good evening
Picturesque, historic "Leyden"
Leiden is a beautiful historic city with many charming spots, picturesque facades, and canals. Start your exploration on the Rapenburg, where you can admire the stunning Academy building and the Hortus Botanicus. Just around the corner, you’ll find the Pieterskerk. Due to the compact size of the center, everything is easily accessible on foot. Don’t forget to visit the Leidse Burcht for the perfect photo, the “pink house” on Groenhazengracht, and the various courtyards that Leiden has to offer.
