Why rent an RV in Holland?
The reason why you should rent an RV in Holland is because Holland is amazing! There is no country like the Netherlands. As what other country is below sea level and this flat? But to be honest that is not a bad thing at all, means less hill walking and close access to the ocean. Holland is unique on its own terms with beautiful flower fields, amazing old windmills, cool cities like Amsterdam or Rotterdam and lovely people. They are all willing to help you and speak English fluently - no need for Google Translate! It can also be a good start for your Europe tour if you fly to Schiphol and set out from there.
Where to go in the Netherlands?
A better question would be where not to go in the Netherlands? The country is small but has so much to offer. They have a North Sea coastline that reaches from the south-west to the north-east of the country. In the west you find nice beach bars and cool campsites with sea view everywhere. In the north and south you find special dikes and dams that keep the feet of the people in Holland dry and actually make life here possible. You also have a few super unique islands, that are worth a visit. In the rest of the country you find a lot of forests, farmlands, cute little villages and lovely towns like Groningen, Leeuwarden, Maastricht and Breda. Not to forget about the cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. If you are visiting the Netherlands in spring also make sure to go to the Keukenhof. In Spring these tulip fields transform into a flower fairytale.
Things to do in Holland
If you go for motorhome hire in Holland, then you should definitely rent a bike too. In the Netherlands they literally have more bikes than people! It is the best way to go around a city given the excessive bike paths and it will let you discover nature. Also make sure to try some of their food. Eat some bread with ‘hagelslag’ (chocolate sprinkles) for lunch, try ‘patat met kroket’ (fries with croquette) from Febo and get a fresh ‘stroopwafel’ at a market. Yum! Don’t forget to go to the Efteling, their number one theme park completely based on fairytales. It has dozens of rides and attractions, and is fun for the whole family!
