Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

Unique in the Netherlands: the tulip excursion is the only location that offers you a tulip tour when the flowers in the field are not blooming yet. You can experience the production process of 7 million tulips every season. During the excursion you will get a guided tour through the greenhouses, bunching room and cold stores. You will enjoy thousands of tulips in the greenhouse (or from mid April until beginning of May in the fields), and you will see how the tulips are bunched and prepared to go to the flower auction. The excursion starts with a Power Point presentation in the typical Dutch coffee room. The tulip excursion is open upon reservation, from end of December until beginning of May, for groups from 20-50 persons. It is also possible to reserve coffee/tea with fresh pie or a lunch buffet.

This big dune and the whole nature area is wonderful to explore. Before walking, it is a good idea to buy a card with all routes in the Buitencentrum (5 min from there). All tracks are well indicated on the card and on the way (different numbers and colours), it is impossible to get lost. Dogs are mostly allowed on the leash, except in some restricted areas because of the cattle.
