Netherlands North Holland Aalsmeer

Kippenbrug by DennisM2

Aalsmeer is a municipality and a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. Its name is derived from the Dutch for eel (aal) and lake (meer). Aalsmeer is bordered by the Westeinderplassen lake, the largest open water of the Randstad, and the Ringvaart Canal. The town is located 13 km (8 mi) southwest of Amsterdam. Because the largest flower auction in the world is based in Aalsmeer, along with numerous nurseries and an experimental station for floriculture, the town is sometimes referred to as the flower capital of the world.

A lakeside town with a vibrant floricultural tradition and the world's largest flower auction, as well as a nice music scene.

I planned a trip for a small trio of girlfriends. We were very pleased with our trip to Europe, and your site is what made it such a smooth and easy process for me to select our hotels. Our hotels were all decent and all went well. We will be using your site again in the future as it was very helpful!

I found the process really easy. Simple layout and lots of options. It was helpful to see the route, allowing me to choose towns better ensuring that the journey would not take us out of our way. Four of our hotels where within easy walking distance of the city center. The hotels were very easy to find with the use of your paperwork and a sat nav. All in all it was a fantastic holiday visiting five countries in ten days. Five different cultures and five different experiences. I am happy to recommend all the hotels we stayed in.
