There are many things you can do and see in the Netherlands. And it is not only Amsterdam that has a variety of activities. Within a short distance you will find lots of sandy beaches, different lively towns, vast open countryside and even forests. A great way of discovering The Netherlands is by bike. Rent a bicycle and join the Dutch on the country's most popular transport. There are around 17,000 km (10,6000 miles) of designated cycle tracks around. Due to the generally flat landscape it is ideal. In most cities it saves time to take the bicycle and you can explore so much more. There are great bicycle maps and while visiting your local VVV (tourist information centre) please look for them. You can even plan a trip by train and take your bicycle with you.

As we want you to explore our beautiful country, we collected (per district) a short selection of activities which may be of interest to you. We will update this section every three months.
