Best Time to Visit Netherland:
Amsterdam is a beautiful city and is best visited in the warmer months of May-September when the Netherlands weather is best. We would still recommend a sweater and light jacket, as the weather can be a little unpredictable.
Our Visit
We have traveled to the Netherlands many times, usually visiting Amsterdam, The Hague, and various cities within a day trip from those places. When we started traveling full-time, Giethoorn was on the list. Unfortunately, when we arrived in the spring, Old Man Winter was still hanging out. Thankfully, the hot chocolate was plentiful and delicious!
