Tourist Information North Holland

Noord-Holland is a province in the northwest of the Netherlands. The provincial capital is Haarlem, the largest city is Amsterdam. Amsterdam is again one of the 25 most visited cities in the world. With almost 8.5 million visitors in 2018, our capital is in 23rd place. It is not easy to summarize the Heart of Noord-Holland in a few words. There are dunes, polders and peat meadow areas where you can walk and cycle to your heart's content. And there is water, a lot of water. But from the North Sea coast to the IJsselmeer coast, this area from the dunes to West Friesland also shows great contrasts. For example, dynamic urban areas can coexist with unspoilt, picturesque villages. And empty, strictly designed reclaimed lands are right next to rugged peat meadow areas full of twittering birds. No, those looking for clarity have no business here. But those who love this colorful procession of landscapes, villages and cities like Alkmaar and Hoorn, where you can go for fun, art and culture, will undoubtedly return here.
