Netherlands Travel Guide - Travel to Netherlands
Travel to Netherlands - Why visit Netherlands? The Netherlands’ appeal is universal, and ultra-tolerant Amsterdam is especially attractive to young people. The cows nibbling grass in fields and the timeless appeal of old windmills are part of the landscape. But in the cities of the Netherlands, a different tourist appeal persists. A fascinating blend of the country’s progressive point of view and its classic architecture pervades cities such as Amsterdam. And Amsterdam’s beautiful gabled homes, friendly, multilingual residents and appreciation for priceless art are complemented by a classic icon of the Netherlands—vibrant tulips.
When to visit Netherlands? Hordes of tourists snap their way around the Netherlands in summer, but there’s no denying that this is the best time of year to sit by the canals for a sip and a toke. Spring is a good time to visit as the bulbs are in bloom - April for daffodils, tulips in May. If you can be in Amsterdam for Koninginnedag (April 30), do it! Rain is spread pretty evenly over the year, so there’s not much point trying to avoid Dutch drizzle. Winter can get bitingly cold, but the museums are quiet, and if everything freezes over, there’s great ice skating on the canals and flood plains.
