I wonder if I would make anything out using a scope.

I was over in the UK couple of months ago, and even through light pollution was able to see quite a few things along the milky way with 10x60 binoculars.
If you have a scope and a UHC filter,or even without you will be able to see many deep sky objects with a telescope.
Maybe a little bit harder to find without a mechanical aid ie go too etc.
Light pollution is the same here in Auss as in Europe for many observers.
I am lucky that I live in a dark sky.
Enjoy your stay in Holland
