Experience the Netherlands as only few experience it: beautiful beaches, historic towns with impressive museums, fishing villages, cheese markets and above all the typical Dutch culture and traditions.
You will cycle along waterways as well as meadows and forests with the typical windmills and black and white cows. And do not forget the IJsselmeer, one of the biggest lakes of Europe. Harbor cities on the IJsselmeer bring you back in the time of the Dutch shipping and trade ages. The North Sea coast with its elongated dunes and lovely towns gives you a holiday with both leisure, nature and culture. This is Holland in its purest form!
