About 'Visiting The Dutch Countryside'
Hi, I’m Manon. I am Dutch and the creative behind ‘Visiting The Dutch Countryside’, a travel blog about The Netherlands. And, you guessed it: I’m from the Dutch Countryside, hence the name. The Netherlands is a country that is filled with beautiful places, yet most people visit Giethoorn, Lisse – and, of course, Amsterdam. In 2018, I decided it was about time that people finally got to see the beauty of The Netherlands beyond the crowds.
This The Netherlands local travel blog has helped 100,000s of people explore The Netherlands beyond the crowds, including stunning Dutch flower fields without tourists (Check my ‘Visiting Tulip Fields in The Netherlands” E-Book here – or join me on a tulip fields bike tour in 2023!). And you’re up next.
COVID-19/ CORONA VIRUS IN THE NETHERLANDS
The corona virus has also spread to The Netherlands. Find the latest covid-19 measurements in The Netherlands below.
NEW UPDATE (23rd of March 2022)
- There are no general rules inside The Netherlands anymore. No need to wear a face mask anywhere, to have a negative test to travel into the country (if you’re from the EU/ Schengen region), to get tested to visit festivals, etc. Restaurants, clubs, etc. are all opened as late as usual. I can now only say one thing: Have fun.
- You should still be aware of extra rules the EU has when it comes to travelling to the European Union from a country that is outside of the Schengen region, I would recommend you to check out the government of The Netherlands website for that.
If you want to immediately have updates on when new or less restrictions happen, I would recommend you to join my private The Netherlands travel Facebook group.
I hope my The Netherlands travel blog will inspire you for your trips to The Netherlands. Discover beautiful towns and cities in The Netherlands and dream away. Stay safe and follow the rules wherever you might be. Hopefully you’re able to travel to The Netherlands soon.

Things to do when visiting The Netherlands this winter
This is me: Manon. I am Dutch and the creative behind ‘Visiting The Dutch Countryside’, a travel blog about The Netherlands. And, you guessed it: I’m from the Dutch Countryside, hence the name.

While The Netherlands’ capital is Amsterdam, this Dutch city does not represent the rest of The Netherlands. Washington D.C. is not the representation of the U.S.A, nor is Jakarta the representation of Indonesia.
The Netherlands exists out of twelve beautiful Dutch provinces: Utrecht, Gelderland, Noord- Brabant, Drenthe, Groningen, Friesland, Overijssel, Limburg, Flevoland, Zeeland, Noord- Holland and Zuid-Holland. Each has great places to visit and is filled with things to do and see. There are beautiful nature reserves in The Netherlands, Dutch castles, hidden Dutch flower fields and endless picturesque Dutch towns and villages.
I have visited almost all the places on my travel blog about The Netherlands with public transportation and/ or by bike. Few Dutch villages in The Netherlands have no public transport available, but this only happens sometimes.
And it gets better: I also have your back if you’re looking for traditional Dutch recipes from The Netherlands. Plus, many people have been searching for things to do in The Netherlands (including the Holland region and cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht) this weekend. So; you can also find my best weekend tips for The Netherlands on my travel blog about The Netherlands.
