High Season

All kinds of tourist services and activities are open to the public in the months between June and August. The best climate probabilities are temperate days to enjoy on the terrace with a coffee or a bike ride through the countryside. Extreme sports are very well considered. Crowds fill the famous museums. The prices are maximum, book in advance is recommendable.

Shoulder Season

Most viewpoints open to observe the magnificent landscapes present in April and May including September and October. Few crowds visit the country, which considerably reduces the uproar produced previously by the high season. Prices are moderate, you just need to book popular places in Amsterdam. The climate can be wet and cold. Bring warm clothes for outdoor activities.

Low Season

Many places outside the main cities are closed. Some roads may be obstructed by sudden snowfall. The few visitors allow the traveler to enjoy calm and tranquility in museums and cultural houses. The weather can be cold and snowy, cycling is only for the strongest.

Your trip to Netherlands

Your travel to Netherlands has about 16% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
