Discover the Netherlands in 2026
An open, inclusive, inventive country.
Welcome to the Netherlands. Offbeat and open-minded. A country full of beautiful nature, vibrant cities and cozy villages. A country where everyone is welcome and feels at home.
If you think of the Netherlands, flowers, windmills, and wooden shoes come to mind – but it has so much more to offer! Enjoy the bracing wind with a beach walk along the Dutch coast or a cycling tour of the Veluwe. Experience the welcoming hospitality of North Brabant and Limburg, the authentic charm of our Hanseatic cities and the Achterhoek in eastern Holland, and the freedom of the provinces of Friesland and Groningen with their wide horizons. Discover how the Dutch battle against the water in Flevoland, our newest province, and immerse yourself in Dutch culture in the modern metropolises, historic cities, and picturesque villages in the west of the Netherlands.
And best of all, you do not have to choose because all this and much more is within a two-hour travel distance.
