While cities such as Amsterdam are always beautiful to see, springtime is when fields of flowers are in full bloom. Make sure to check out the Keukenhof which is located in Lisse where millions of Dutch tulips and other flowers can be seen. My advice, if it is your first time travelling to the Netherlands, this is the season to come. This is the main season for seaside resorts on the Dutch coast. During the months of June to July and then until the end of August, be sure to book hotels well in advance.
Winters are relatively mild.
More than twenty ice rinks, aside from frozen canals, rivers and lakes can be found for recreational fun. This time of year is always beautiful, but it is the rainiest of seasons, especially in coastal areas. Over a million Belgians flee north. Economic crisis, over 400,000 unemployed. Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg establish the Benelux customs union which is brought into effect in stages between 1944 and 1948.
