Tulip FieldsA varied trip that guarantees a striking introduction to the heart of the Netherlands, visiting historical towns, picturesque villages and sandy beaches. Spend one day roaming the centre of Haarlem, Leiden or 16th Century Delft and the next cycling along the reedy borders of the Lek or Vecht Rivers. In historic towns there is time to visit museums with such treasures as paintings by Franz Hals, Rembrant and Van Gogh, go shopping or just relax and let the world go by as you drink coffee at an outdoor café. Like many Dutch people cycle to the beach and the dunes of Scheveningen near The Hague and then explore by boat the world's largest seaport, Rotterdam. Discover eighteen breathtaking old windmills in Kinderdijk which date from 1750. Complete your unforgettable holiday with a canal tour through Amsterdam. Make the journey in April and May, the tulip months, when you can cycle through colourful tulip fields' hectares wide and visit Keukenhof, a park full of hundreds of different tulips and many other flowers.
