The best time to go to the Netherlands

The best time to visit the Netherlands is during the summer months, from June to August. This is when the country experiences average temperatures of 17°C to 21°C, making it ideal for all kinds of activities like beachcombing on the coast, sightseeing in the cities, and hiking or biking in the countryside.

Keep in mind that summer is also the busiest time for tourists in the Netherlands, so prices for flights and accommodation may be higher, and popular attractions could be crowded. Booking in advance is recommended during this time.

For budget-conscious travellers, visiting the Netherlands during the low season - from January to February and November to early December - could offer cheaper flights and hotels. However, the weather may be colder and wetter during these months.
