Tall houses fronting canals, cycling everywhere, tulips, edam cheese, wooden shoes, coffee shops that sell marijuina and a red light district.
They are all on tap with roundtrip flights to Amsterdam, which you can win at the YLW Spring Travel Show.
Around 3,000 people are expected to attend the show, which runs from 10 am to 2 pm today at the KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence just down the road from Kelowna International Airport's (YLW) main terminal.
The show will feature a prize draw with those roundtrip flights for two to Amsterdam courtesy of Edmonton International Airport.
Edmonton is involved because the flights are Kelowna to Edmonton with WestJet and then Edmonton to Amsterdam with codeshare partner KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
Ballots for the prize draw can only be purchased at the show for $5 each or five for $20.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the YLW Scholarship Fund for students studying aviation.
The draw also has four other travel prizes -- roundtrip flights for two on Pacific Coastal to either Victoria or Nanaimo, anywhere Flair flies, anywhere Central Mountain Air flies and anywhere Air North flies.
