Visit this Dutch seaside resort, where you will find lovely beaches perfect for relaxing, nearby flower fields, and a nice atmosphere.

Noordwijk is located in the province of South Holland. Besides its beaches, Noordwijk is also known for its bulb flower fields. It is located in an area called the "Dune and Bulb Region". Noordwijk aan Zee was founded around 1200 as a fishing village. Until the beginning of the 19th century, fishing remained its primary business, but then began to be replaced by the growing tourism industry. Nowadays because of its long sandy beaches, it is a popular resort town with 1,000,000 overnight stays per year. It has a lighthouse and a KNRM rescue station. Furthermore, it has a reformed church (1647) with a pulpit from the 17th century.

I was very pleased with your website. I plan on using it again for more of my future trips. The website was easy to navigate and your customer service was on point. I loved your website and plan on using again!

I happened to find RoutePerfect.com just by Google search when my wife and I were talking about the possibility of traveling in Europe. It's an amazing website that really helped us plan the perfect trip! The planning process was very easy, and the suggestions that the site made for us really helped and we were able to find many awesome places. The selection of the hotels was great and I really like how the site is linked with TripAdvisor to make sure that you are picking a good hotel. The package price was very good, and cheaper than other sites.
