Despite being one of the smaller European nations, the Netherlands is well known around the world due to the wide influence of the former Dutch Empire and for its long history of famous artists such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Vermeer.
If cycling isn’t your thing then maybe you would prefer to see the country from the calm waters of its extensive canal system.
The country is also famous for its flat, low-lying land that is perfect for cycling either for sport, fun or simply as everyday transport.
Although there is no bad time to be in the Netherlands, if you want to witness the extraordinary site of millions of tulips in bloom then April to May is the best time for you.
