The North Holland coast

Roaring engines, squealing brakes ... Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush and test your own car on the asphalt at Circuit Zandvoort. Would you rather admire the real drivers from the sidelines? There are regular events where shiny racing cars or historic vehicles render the circuit unsafe. For those who prefer to take on the sporting challenge slightly different, there are cycling and running events on the track too.

In Haarlem, you will find a cosy historic centre, famous museums, hip concept stores and star chef restaurants. Stroll through the historic hidden streets or enjoy a drink at one of the waterside terraces.

Get a breath of fresh air, build sandcastles for hours or relax with a book in the sun. After a nice day at Zandvoort beach, you can go for a snack and a drink at one of the many beach pavilions.

Visit the vibrant capital of the Netherlands. Stroll along the iconic canals or discover the city by canal boat. Go shopping in the city centre or visit one of the many museums, such as the Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh Museum.

The Dunes Golf Course is, as the name suggests, located in the middle of the Zandvoort dunes. The dunes create relatively large differences in altitude and the wind means that the conditions are constantly changing. The 9-hole golf course is located next to the Zandvoort circuit and about 2 kilometres from the beach. Are you an expert but the rest of your party has no golfing experience? Lessons are available, but the area also has a lot to offer. Then you can quietly hit a few balls in the meantime!
