Tulip paradise in North Holland
Holland-Cycling.com is an internet guide to cycling in Holland. We do not organise cycling holidays ourselves. To help you on your way, we made a selection of the most popular cycling holidays offered by Dutch tour operators. The information on this page is provided by the tour operator.
Traditionally, tourists flock to see the tulip fields south of Amsterdam, but those north of the capital are just as pretty and colourful. Are you planning a tranquil cycling holiday in the tulip season, between the beginning of April and mid-May? This journey leads you right through the heart of the northern bulb flower district with the Hortus Bulborum as an added bonus.

Furthermore, the holiday showcases the fantastic natural beauty of the North Sea coast: Discover the highest and widest coastal dunes in the country, boasting a range of habitats from wind-blown sand ridges to open dune grasslands; and from scrub to woods. The dunes at Schoorl impress with their unique combination of high dunes, dense woods, wet hollows and fields of heather. In several places along the route, you can enjoy deserted beaches and lovely sea views.
The seaside resorts of Egmond aan Zee and Bergen aan Zee ooze traditional family-holiday vibes. The attractive historical town center of Alkmaar offers museums, culture and shopping. Finally, on this cycling holiday, your curiosity for history will be awakened by a range of interesting tourist attractions.
Outside the tulip season the 7-day (Top of North Holland) and 8-day (North Holland Tour) trip are a good alternative.
