Reizigersadvies
Vervoersmogelijkheden
Public transport is clean, comfortable and efficent
The Dutch public transport system is the best way to travel between towns and cities.
Purchase an ''Anonymous' OV-Chipkaart from the ticket counter at major transport hubs.
Niet te missen
Keukenhof & Flower parades
Keukenhof for the Tulips is open from March to May At the end of April & the second weekend in August are also flower parades.
Cultuur en gebruiken
Speak when entering
it is normal to speak to shop staff and bus drivers etc when entering a simple Hello will suffice.
Boek vooraf
Book ahead
I always recommend booking ahead for museums, concerts restaurants etc.
almost always possible using their specific web site.
Manieren om te besparen
Discount on meals and experiences
Download the 'Social Deal' app
be careful to read and understand the small print before committing to pay.
They are not keen on refunds.
Wat je moet meenemen
Cash is King
Almost no supermarket will take a credit card. Only Dutch bank cards and cash.
Restaurants, shops and most attractions will take credit cards but not supermarkets.
Nuttige zinnen
Can't speak Dutch? Try English!
The Dutch pretty much speak perfect English. However, they value politeness so an Please and a Thank you go a very long way.
Many also speak German, French, Italian or Spanish. Although this is less common.
Reizen met kinderen
Child friendly transport
The Netherlands is child friendly. All public transport have space for disabled and child buggies.
Vervoersmogelijkheden
Dutch Bicycles rule
For experiencing the local area, hire a bicycle, with or without full electric power or just pedal assist.
There are many places to see and explore you would never know about by using cars or busses etc.
