When you think of Holland, there are several things that come to mind; art, cheese, windmills, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, endless beautiful landscapes and of course blooming tulips. This shows exactly how much this small country has to offer. And if you\u2019re not one for the famed upbeat nightlife of Amsterdam, you needn\u2019t worry, there\u2019s tons more you can do. For example, take a canal cruise across the city and discover the hundreds of bridges and old houses that populate this beautiful city. If you time your vacation right, you could also visit Floriade, which is the largest flower expo in the whole of <a title=\"Europe Tour Packages\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/holidays\/international-tour-packages\/europe-tour-packages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Europe Tours<\/a>.

Amsterdam being the birthplace of the Dutch art movement saw the likes of Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Vermeer gain prominence and popularity. You will be spoilt for choice as Holland houses over a thousand museums, The Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum being the most famous. One could also join the Dutch in their favourite mode of transport, cycling and take a planned cycle vacation across the country. The extremely flat countryside and well marked cycle tracks make it a fun and exciting experience.Let\u2019s not forget about the famous windmills, however clich\u00e9d seeing the windmills in Holland might be, you have to see them in person to believe how grand they are. Along the Dutch countryside, you will find the 19 World Heritage windmills of Kinderdijk, which will make the most perfect postcard picture you will ever see.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-35784\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35784\" style=\"width: 905px; height: 601px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tulip-festival-holland.jpg\" alt=\"The Land of Tulips: Holland\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Source : nature.desktopnexus.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These are a few of the several attractions Holland has to offer its visitors; a few other attractions include cheese, the 13,500 acre Hoge De Veluwe National Park which boasts of a large population of red deer, roe deer and mouflen, a Mediterranean variety of sheep.
