Get ready for six days of cycling, exploring and family fun in Holland! As a self-guided tour, you’re free to shape each day around your family and pack in as much or as little as you like. Discover royal gardens, world-class museums, amusement parks, colourful tulip fields and scenic canals. With so much to see and do, every day brings a new adventure and plenty of opportunities to make lasting family memories!
A Holland adventure the whole family will remember! Starting and finishing in the town of Zoetermeer, this 6-day cycling holiday packs in plenty of variety, from royal palaces and fascinating museums to sandy beaches, colourful flower fields and historic windmills.
Zoetermeer is a great base for exploring some of Holland’s highlights, including the Royal Palace and Gardens, Parliament and other historic sites. If your family enjoys art, don’t miss Panorama Mesdag, where you can step inside Hendrik Willem Mesdag’s incredible 360-degree panoramic painting. It’s an experience that’s as impressive as it is unusual!
Halfway through the trip, hop on your bikes and make your way to Noordwijk aan Zee, where the scenery changes as you get closer to the coast. Located in Holland’s famous Dune and Bulb Region, Noordwijk is especially spectacular in spring when the surrounding fields burst into color with blooming tulips. Keukenhof Flower Park is the big-name attraction and a wonderful place to see the flowers, although it can get busy during its short 8-week season. Prefer to skip the crowds? No problem! You can visit Space Expo, discover the wonders of space travel, or simply head to the beach for a swim, a paddle or some good old-fashioned sandcastle building.
On the scenic ride back to Zoetermeer, there’s still plenty to discover. Choose from museums covering everything from nature and the human body to ancient civilisations, or take a step back in time at Molen de Valk, a historic tower windmill and museum in Leiden. For another fun family adventure, rent a motorboat and cruise Leiden’s picturesque canals at your own pace.
With cycling, beaches, tulips, museums, windmills and plenty of freedom to choose your own adventures, this is a Holland holiday made for families. You can keep the days as relaxed or activity-packed as you like, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the trip. Come for the cycling, stay for the adventures, and go home with memories the whole family will be talking about for years to come!
