Beach adventures in Holland
Holland? Exactly. We're talking about the Netherlands. The home of the Oranjes, the people of campers par excellence. Have you ever thought about going on holiday to Holland? The advantages of the country are unmistakable. Beautiful country, friendly people, high standard of living. Great cities, relaxing nature. While Italy's Adriatic beaches can make you feel like sardines in oil, the Netherlands can have relatively laid-back beach adventures. In times of the sometimes quite strenuous heat waves, it might also be a good idea to dodge a bit north.
About Holland
Strictly speaking, Holland is just one of the four autonomous countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is the one that borders Belgium and Germany and has an impressive coastline. The fairly flat country measures a good 40,000 square kilometers. Almost 18 million people live here. Dutch is spoken. The capital Amsterdam is known to most people. It is a city that many compare to Venice due to the many canals and bridges. Only Amsterdam wasn't built on stilts in the sea. The standard of living is very high. Those who spend their holidays here can really have a good time.
A round trip with city and beach
Interestingly, there are many Germans, Swiss and Austrians who have already vacationed in Holland. If you ask your friends, it turns out that Amsterdam is a very popular destination. The motives are complex. The flair, the culture, the vibrant nightlife or even the popular coffee shops. Amsterdam has a lot to offer. But not only Amsterdam. A round trip offers so much more. And if you're vacationing in the land of campers, it's best to camp too. A mobile home is cheap to rent and offers every comfort.
The good thing is that the campsites are really great. And there are numerous of them. It's the convenient way to travel. Especially if you want to explore the country.
Assuming you want to spend 4-5 days in the capital first and then explore more and make a longer detour by the sea, then a round trip with a camper could look like this. Amsterdam - Utrecht - Gouda - Delft - Keukenhof - Alkmaar - Volendam - Amsterdam. These stations offer a bit of everything. The old town of Utrecht. The "cheese city" of Gouda, the world's largest flower park in Keukenhof, the next "cheese city" of Alkmaar, the paradisiacal fishing village of Volendam. And of course, don't forget the coast. As said. Holland is more diverse than many people think.
