Netherlands 

The Netherlands is the land of bicycles, windmills and tulips. The Netherlands is the land of relaxed days and coffee by the canal.

 

 

In the Netherlands everyone rides a bicycle and urban cycling is a way of life more than half the country rides a bike daily and in many of the cities there are more bikes than people. If you want to have a cycling holiday hiring a bike is really easy and inexpensive. 

The capital Amsterdam usually makes it onto peoples bucket list for one reason or another but Amsterdam’s iconic canal belt (which is now a UNESCO site) is a main reason to visit. The waterways were the main mode of transportation before the Bikes took over but cruising around on the canal boats is always a fabulous way to spend the day. My advise find one with a bar site back and watch the world go by.
