A driving holiday to South Holland is convenient for seeing all corners of the province, but keep parking rates in the major cities in mind.
What is the best seaside resort in South Holland for a holiday?
It depends on your wishes. Scheveningen is the most famous and busiest resort with the Pier and plenty of entertainment. Looking for more luxury and peace? Then Noordwijk (also known as the 'floral seaside resort') is ideal. For families who love wide, quiet nature beaches, Ouddorp on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee is the absolute favorite.
When are the bulb fields in South Holland in bloom?
The best time to admire the tulip fields in the Bollenstreek is usually from mid-April to early May. This is also the period when the Keukenhof in Lisse is open. For a quiet experience, it is best to rent a holiday home in the Bollenstreek and explore the fields by bike instead of by car.
Can dogs go to the beach in South Holland?
Yes, but the rules vary by resort. In Noordwijk, there is a special dog beach where dogs can run off-leash year-round. In Scheveningen and Katwijk, dogs are often not allowed during the day in the summer season, but you can walk there in the evenings and early mornings. At Leisure Time, you can specifically search for a holiday home in South Holland with a fenced garden.
What are the best cities for a day trip in South Holland?
South Holland has the highest concentration of historic cities in the Netherlands. Delft is world-famous for its blue pottery and canals, Leiden for its almshouses and museums (such as Naturalis), and The Hague for the Binnenhof and royal allure. For modern architecture and the famous Markthal, a visit to Rotterdam is a must.
What to do in South Holland when it rains?
There are numerous indoor activities. Visit the covered Markthal in Rotterdam, go to the Omniversum in The Hague, or discover space travel at Space Expo in Noordwijk. The many top museums, such as the Mauritshuis or CORPUS (journey through the human body), are also perfect outings on a rainy day.
Are the Kinderdijk windmills free to visit?
You can walk or cycle for free on the path that runs past the windmills. However, if you want to see the museum windmills from the inside or take a boat trip along the World Heritage site, you must purchase a ticket. Renting a holiday home near Kinderdijk gives you the chance to visit the windmills early in the morning before the large crowds of tourists arrive.
Is a holiday in South Holland easily accessible by public transport?
Absolutely. South Holland has the densest rail network in the Netherlands. Trains run every few minutes between cities like Rotterdam, The Hague, Delft, and Leiden. Seaside resorts are also excellently accessible by coastal bus. However, many people choose a driving holiday to South Holland to more easily reach nature reserves such as the Biesbosch or the islands.
Whether you choose a luxury seaside apartment in Scheveningen, an authentic cottage in the Bollenstreek, or a modern stay near Rotterdam: at Leisure Time, you will find your perfect match.
