Amsterdam News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/13

Step back in time at Doorwerth Castle, a medieval fortress turned literary muse and living garden. Built as a robber baron’s wooden hideout in the 13th century, it was later rebuilt with bricks to withstand centuries of war and floods—until WWII artillery shattered it during the Battle of Arnhem. After decades of restoration, the castle rose again, now home to a legendary acacia tree (400 years old, 7m trunk) and a thriving 17th-century vegetable garden tended by volunteers. And yes—it’s where

After 13 years of supplying sandwiches to KLM, Dutch bakery Bakkerij Carl Siegert is saying goodbye — as the airline phases out free meals.

2026/08/12

Gas prices in the Netherlands are soaring—up over 22% from last year—and driving overall inflation to 3.2% in July. This surge, fueled by Middle East tensions earlier this year and rising import taxes on EU goods, is pushing up costs across the board. While housing inflation slowed slightly, the broader trend remains upward, with summer sales creating temporary dips that don’t reflect long-term price increases. Dutch inflation sits at 3%, slightly above the eurozone average, due to steeper
