Petra’s spring travel trips
We asked our travel expert Petra about her best tips for next spring:
“Have you ever tried to see too much in one trip? It becomes a whirlwind tour and afterwards, you can barely remember the trip! My recommendation: chose a region to explore in detail, travel slowly and experience a place in depth, instead of rushing around trying to see too much.
The Netherlands and northwest Germany have so much to enjoy in a fairly small area. These five tips from our offerings are my favorites for spring.”
1. Tulip fields and sailing adventures – two-in-one!
Our Sail & Bike Tulip Tour is a truly unique spring experience. Traveling on a real sailing ship is something very special: an experience unlike anything else.
And at the same time, we bicycle through the fabulous flower fields, beautiful dunes and historic seaports of North Holland. Can you imagine a more inspiring spring adventure?
2. The best way to see tulips in the Netherlands
On this 5-day tulip tour, you’ll not only visit Keukenhof, the famous tulip show garden, but you’ll visit the largest flower auction house in the world! You’ll spend your days bicycling by the most brilliantly colorful tulip fields, and get a look at the Netherlands that’s authentic and wonderfully picturesque.
This tour also includes the historic and beautiful city of Haarlem, the watery world of Waterland and, of course, the exciting city of Amsterdam!
3. The hidden side of the Netherlands
The Netherlands is so much more than just Amsterdam! Some of the country’s best-kept secrets are the beautiful cities and cycling routes around the river IJssel and the Hoge Veluwe National Park – they can send Dutch people into raptures!
Hanseatic cities such as Arnhem, Deventer and Kampen are real beauties: rich with history, they certainly don’t need to hide behind the nation’s capital. On the fully-guided Hansa Highlights Tour , you’ll see a side of the Netherlands that you’ve never experienced before.
4. North Holland from Amsterdam to Texel
From Amsterdam’s colorful canals to the endless beaches of Texel Island, the variety of landscapes in North Holland will surprise and amaze you. Flower fields, dunes, old seafaring villages and incredible feats of water control engineering – this region will surprise you with its diversity. As spring arrives and the fields burst into color, our Northern Tour of Holland offers a perfect mix of city and countryside.
5. Green Heart of Holland
The best thing about this trip? The combination of fascinating cities and idyllic natural landscapes. Here in Holland everything is so close!
And don’t be surprised if you feel like you’ve stepped into a beautiful old painting. After all, this is the land of Dutch masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer. On the Green Heart of Holland tour ,we’ll take you to see Amsterdam, Leiden’s historic center, “cheese capital” Gouda, and the windmills of Kinderdijk. You’ll see what the world’s greatest painters saw!
