Easy Access to Cultural Attractions
The average of 4.2 kilometres to a museum by road in 2023 is calculated for the typical Dutch inhabitant living at an address with three museums within a radius of 5 kilometres.
In Amsterdam, this range is extended, averaging 21 museums. After that comes The Hague with 13 museums and Leiden with 11.
Cinema Options Across the Country
Going to the cinema is also an option for most residents, as the average Dutch person lives within 5 km of a movie theater.
Amsterdam comes out top in this comparison as well, with six cinemas between nine and 16 minutes away. Utrecht trails with five, and The Hague boasts four.
Cafés Within Walking Distance
By 2024, the average distance to a coffee shop was only 1.4 km. On average, the distance to a café is about 1 km from three cafés.
The Hague and Amsterdam have 10 cafés each within this distance, while those in Rotterdam have seven nearby options.
Food Spots Everywhere
And so are the snack bars, lunchrooms, and ice cream parlors, which you can find at an average of 800 meters in all directions.
Residents of virtually every municipality in the four major cities and Noord-Brabant / Limburg are located less than 1 kilometer from the nearest fast food (or similar) outlet.
Family-Friendly Attractions
National average distance by 2024 (5.6km) — Think amusement parks, zoos, or indoor playgrounds. At the other end of the scale, three towns have a facility within 1.7km of home -Vlaardingen, Hattem, and Goirle.
Longer Distances in Certain Areas
The travel distances to Dutch attractions are generally farther for residents of the Wadden Islands and Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. People, especially those living near the borders, could still take advantage of entertainment options in adjacent countries such as Germany or Belgium.
