Katwijk and Noordwijk

In summer, Holland Rijnland is a popular beach destination. The seaside resorts Noordwijk and Katwijk offer miles of long sandy beaches, where everyone can find a spot!

Noordwijk is a modern seaside resort and offers a host of luxurious hotels and a big variety of restaurants and bars; many of which are situated at the promenade directly on the sea front. Surrounded by woods and wild dunes, Noordwijk is located in the heart of the Dutch bulb-growing area and nearby Keukenhof. It is often described as the flower seaside resort of Europe! Immerse yourself in nostalgic atmosphere by wandering around the old heart of Noordwijk (Noordwijk Binnen) and enjoy the stately buildings and houses, old lime-trees and a shop specialising in spices.

Neighbouring Katwijk is situated directly on the seaside and boasts a promenade perfect for a leisurely stroll. While you're there, make sure to pay a visit to Katwijk's beacon and the Katwijk Museum, which gives you an impression of the importance of the village in earlier times.

Leiden
Pay a visit to Leiden, with its rich cultural historical value, monumental façades and canals. These days its atmosphere is largely determined by its university and boosts numerous student bars and restaurants. It's also the birthplace of Rembrandt and the place where Clusius brought the first Dutch tulips into flower.
