The bulb fields in the provinces of North and South Holland are at their most beautiful in April and May, when the daffodils, hyacinths and tulips are in bloom. Thousands of visitors assemble to see them. The Netherlands produces 60 per cent of the world`s commercially-grown flowers. Holland and flowers! A wonderful way to experience both is to go on lovely scenic bicycle tours, particularly in the springtime, when the flowers in the bulb fields and the blossoms in the orchards are in bloom. The countryside filled with cows grazing in fields near canals and old windmills, timeless serenity captured by so many Dutch painters.

The Dutch were the first real innovators of the windmill. They used windmills primarily to remove water from the land. For five centuries, windmills were the primary source of power in Holland. More than half of Holland lies below sea level and is kept from flooding by an ingenious system of canals, mills, lochs and dams. Quaint towns and villages just outside Amsterdam offer a rich tradition with locals wearing traditional garb and wooden shoes. Marvel over typical Dutch landscape with millions of blooming tulips, windmills and dikes. Holland small in size, big in events, attractions and activities! Experience Amsterdam Diamond City and walk the cobblestonesof Holland street.
