Decompress and relax in verdant green expanses when you’ve had your fill of urban fun. Explore the North Sea coast by bicycle or tram and roll through seaside towns framed between lonely sand dunes. Discover what each beautiful and historic country offers to the region beyond just a syllable from each of their names.
