A
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.
