Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit the Netherlands is from the months of April through October.
The summer months of June and July are peak tourists season in the Netherlands. The days are rarely too hot due to the country’s mild climate. Crowds will be at their largest, but the days are long, and there is never a shortage of things to do in Amsterdam this time of year.
Late March, April, and May are the perfect time to visit the Netherlands and see the colorful tulip fields bursting in full bloom.
From November to early March, the weather is typically cold and wet, making these months the low season in the Netherlands.
