North Holland is one of the twelve provinces that make up the current Kingdom of the Netherlands, located on the northwest coast of the country. It is, thanks to the popularity of Amsterdam, the best known and most visited area of the country each year. And they are right: just half an hour from the capital of the country you find a province full of landscapes, dreamy villages and the beautiful Dutch coast. North Holland has always been one of the richest and most important provinces in the country. The ports of the former Zuiderzee played a very important role in the overseas trade and its merchants became really rich with it. Its capital is the city of Harleem, and it is known for its Hofijes (or asylums) built around courtyards. It is possible to visit them during the weekends, since they open their doors to the public. Nor can you miss the Grote Markt square, where you can admire several outstanding buildings, including the Town Hall. Equally noteworthy are its two museums: the Teylers Museum and the Frans Hals Museum. You can also see the Adriaan Mill (the most famous of the city) and the Amsterdamse Poort bridge. We can not fail to mention the beautiful Amsterdam, where you will find a collection of beautiful 17th century houses, canals, charming cafes and grand palaces and mansions. Be sure to visit the Van Gogh Museum, the huge Rijksmuseum and the Rembrandt House Museum. Another fantastic idea is to explore the curious villages surrounding Amsterdam. Edam is famous for its cheese, and Alkmaar for its cheese market, held every Friday. In Zaanse Schans there are historic local factories, such as a 17th-century bakery and a liquor distillery, as well as a working spice mill and numerous wooden windmills. If you want to see the famous tulip fields at their best, travel between March and May to the area between Alkmaar and Den Helder. This region also has many kilometers of coastline and beautiful beaches. Places like Zandvoort and Bergen aan Zee, receive many visitors who come to enjoy a day at the beach. North Holland is a perfect destination for those who want to discover the more typical Holland.
