Great fun, last summer when I went to Montreal I came across a drumming group who apparently meet every sunday at Parc Mont Royal. Loads of people were there enjoying the music, partying and picnicking. Great free fun adn a fab way to meet locals, i'm off at Easter to go stay with a group I met there!

So lovely to getr away from the bright lights and madness of the strip for a bit and this is just perfect. The park is set on an oasis and the lushness is so relaxing. The tule springs ranch is an interesting place to spend soe time, with fossils found in the area. Lovely for a lunchtime picnic and afternoon wander.

9200 tule springs road, about 20 miles from the strip, you'll need a hire car

I went to visit friends from university and they took me here for the day. I hired a bike and we all went for a lovely cycle and picnic. Really pretty and a great free (ish, for the bike, but you could walk) day out.

After you have done Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the Hague you may find some extra time on your hands. The place to go to is a short distance away from these major cities in Otterlow. The Kroller-Muller Museum offers world class art (specially Van Gogh) in an environment that you feel like you are the only one in the museum. Room after room of Van Gogh, (many of their collection is on loan to the Van Gogh museum) that you can view up close without one worry about blocking somebody's view. The sculpture gardens are outstanding. The grounds that the museum is on also offers free bikes that you can ride around the extensive grounds on for a complete beautiful day. I had to list this this under Amsterdam, because this site does not list Otterlo as a travel destination.
