Noord-Holland
No visitor to this part of the Netherlands should miss the city of Amsterdam with its delight of bridges, canals, museums, and listed buildings.
Beside the many historical cities and densely populated, modern residential areas, there is plenty of space for unique landscapes such as Waterland (near Amsterdam) and the Kennemer Dunes (near Haarlem).
Noord-Holland is a broad peninsula lying between the North Sea and the IJsselmeer. With more than 2.5 million people sharing an area of 2,670 sq.km, it is the country’s second most populated province. In 1600, half of its surface was covered by water, then began the reclamation of land, and the construction of giant polders such as Beemster, Purmer and Schermer, a testament to the relationship between man and the sea. But there is much more to this province: forests, moors, dunes, beaches and meadows form a diverse landscape embroidered with quaint towns and charming, sleepy villages, rich in folklore and legend.
Almost the entire west coast is made up of dunes and beaches. You have a choice of secluded bays or lively seaside resorts, simple pavilions or trendy beach restaurants. The east coast is bordered by the fresh water of the IJsselmeer, which offers numerous activities on its many ponds, lakes and canals. Noord-Holland’s rich trading history is reflected in the elegant and vibrant cities, where there are ample opportunities to shop, visit museums and galleries, or just sit at a terrace café and watch the world go by.
