Holiday in the Netherlands

Holidays in the Netherlands with Eurocamp are the perfect way to see the sights of Holland.

The Netherlands is an area of Europe that is characterised by its windmills, clogs and tulips. However there is much more to the Dutch landscape than just windmills and tulip fields. While these are prominent features, the Netherlands also boasts superb canals, dykes, rustic farmhouses and rugged dunes.

Holland is a wonderfully rich country that has a very distinct history and culture. The Dutch are down to earth people who live in a liberal, tolerant society. This can be no better demonstrated than in the cities where you will get an old-fashioned sense of harmony coupled with the modern, care-free attitudes that have allowed the infamous cafes to be part of everyday life. Holidays in the Netherlands will give you a whole new window on the world.

Life in the Netherlands is very much defined by water. So much of their land is below sea level that their life depends on the dykes and canals. This also means though that it is best explored by foot or by bike and the vast network of cycle routes and footpaths across the country make it easy to do so. It is also the only way to really see the beautiful Dutch landscape.

Eurocamp currently has 4 parcs in the Netherlands, all of which are perfectly situated near the main cities Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Amsterdam is the largest city and is celebrated for its stunning tree-lined canals. It is an exciting, vibrant city crammed full of cafes, markets, 17th and 18th century architecture, and museums, including the popular Van Gogh Museum. Rotterdam is also a lively city that is excellent for shopping and has a beautiful, pastoral setting. Utrecht is a historic and compact city that has a superb old quarter with narrow, windy streets and a quaint bell tower. Underneath this city lies a unique network of brick cellars that have been turned into cosy cafes and bars offering people on their holidays in the Netherlands a unique experience. The surrounding countryside in Holland is made up of numerous cycle routes and footpaths providing excellent views of the bulb fields and windmill-dotted landscape.

When on holiday in the Netherlands there are some things that you must do to make your trip truly authentic. These include hiring a bike, which you can do from your Eurocamp parc, visiting a working windmill and experiencing one of Holland's excellent flower markets. Eurocamp parcs are an ideal base for your holidays in the Netherlands.
