The Netherlands may be known for tulips, windmills, and wooden clogs, but there is much more to discover. We meet Aida, a former top athlete, in the seaside city of The Hague in the north of the country. Over three days, she shows us hidden corners and surprising details we would never expect. Join us and see how Dutch cuisine can be full of contrasts, from octopus instead of burgers to a preference for raw fish.
