Known as being largely flat, it’s an ideal destination for those who enjoy pursuits such as cycling or walking.
The Netherlands also has some great locations for a city break such as Amsterdam or Rotterdam. The mixture of canals, stunning architecture, cafes and beautiful landscape make this the perfect place to explore.
