Thinking about traveling to the Netherlands? Knowing what season to visit gives you the best travel deals and even the opportunity to bond with the locals.
The climate in the Netherlands is
considered to be moderate, which means that there are well-defined summer and winter seasons.
Regardless of the city, it is always
the most comfortable during the warmer months. Unless, of course, the
season is easily measured by the lack of tourists. The warm summer
months are also the most crowded, as many tourists are planning trips
to Holland during this time.
The warmest months of the year
throughout most of the Netherlands are July and August, but even at
this time the temperatures are quite mild. Highs will usually stay in
the mid-70s and on a hot day jump in the 80s. These are great months
for walking outdoors and exploring the canals or riding bikes on the
streets.
The spring months of April and May are
also a great time to visit even if the cooler daytime temperatures
may require long pants and jumpers to stay comfortable. The flowers
that bloom everywhere are spectacular. April is the season for
daffodils while tulips bloom in May.
The colder winter months also have something to offer. When temperatures drop below freezing for too long, even the channels freeze over. When this happens, it's a great opportunity to meet the locals and tourists to the ice and skate along this narrow strip of water.
