Are you going to Keukenhof? We have been 3 times and the bulb displays are breathtaking. Are you going from Harwich? Our favourite site is Strandbad, near Edam. The views over the Zeider Zee are lovely. Have a great trip.Hi we are touring Holland for the first time for 2 weeks in April anyone could give us tips would be appreciated we have travelled only in France before

We stayed last year at Koningshof, Rijsburg. Not sure if the spelling is correct, but it was a lovely site.Hi Foxy

There is a car park right outside Keukenhof and we had no difficulty getting in. You can buy bulbs much more cheaply away from Keukenhof.We stayed last year at Koningshof, Rijsburg. Not sure if the spelling is correct, but it was a lovely site.

Hi Davidits not that far from Gouda Martin, we had a drive out and back from there last time in Holland
But be prepared to queue and crowds, there was an almighty traffic jam when we were there last and there must have been 100+ coaches
We made do with the fields and the smell, but Keukenhof probably should be done at least once

I certainly did not find bikes an issue, but rather the (mainly Arabic) unlicensed moped (but often larger cc) riders, who due to an elderly but now significant loophole in the law are classed as being able to use the same paths as cyclists, particularly in Amsterdam.I second the 'watch out for bikes comment'. The good news it that in most cases bikes are on separate tracks. The problem comes where the track crosses in front of you at a junction and at roundabouts.
If the track crosses the road there will be road markings and expect to pull up short of junctions (T junctions). The rule is where there is a cycle versus car situation the cyclist has right of way.
Watch out for roundabouts where cyclists may be following an outer ring within the roundabout. You have to give way to them as you enter - as with other traffic but watch for them coming up on your right, cutting across your path as you come to leave the roundabout. It's rare because cycle lanes are segregated but we came across this situation last year having not been to the NL for a few years and it was a big shock. The first one was an old lady going like the clappers.
When a pedestrian, take particular care, looking the correct way when stepping off the kerb......and make very sure you are not walking in a cycle lane. You won't hear them coming!
