Holidays in Netherlands

An introduction to Netherlands

Clogs and coffee shops. Tulips and cheese. Or the chance for some full-on hill-free cycling. Whatever's got you looking at holidays to Holland, you'll find all this and much much more.

Holland is a little miracle. With half of it dipping up to seven metres below sea level, by rights whole swathes of it belong under the waves. But with a cunning combination of dykes and canals, they've managed to keep this flat-as-a-pancake land afloat – and created an utterly unique country to boot. We're talking sweeping, flower-strewn countryside, beautiful beaches that have barely been touched and some of Europe's most titillating cities. Get set to fall head over heels for Holland holidays.

Dropping it all to grab a last minute holiday to Holland? Then set your sights on Dutch Cities – the way to do a short stay in the Netherlands. Take your pick from the chic streets and sophisticated tastes of Maastricht, the bewitchingly beautiful Utrecht or the electric eclectic culture of Groningen. Or that queen of Dutch Cities, the naughty-but-oh-so-nice Amsterdam – canals, culture and a myriad of drinking dens all add up to a brilliant city break.

Head out of the cities and travel to Holland is all about making the most of this unusual land's natural gifts. It's about packing a picnic and peddling out into the country to drink in the awesome expanses of uninterrupted sky. It's about heading to the coast to the gloriously tourist free sandy beaches and seaside towns. Or it's about hopping across to the Frisian Islands for some sun, cycling and surf. From wholesome to hedonistic, Holland has the lot.
