    Local Customs: Best Times to Visit
  • Tip Rating:
  • The best times to visit the Netherlands are late spring--when the northern European days are long and the summer crowds have not yet filled the beaches, the highways, or the museums--and in fall.
    .
    The Netherlands' high season begins in late March to late April, when the tulips come up, and runs through October, when the Dutch celebrate their Autumn Holiday. June, July, and August are the most popular months with both international visitors and the Dutch themselves- bookings may be difficult to obtain during these times.

    Local Customs: Electricity
  • Tip Rating:
  • The electrical current in the Netherlands is 220 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC); wall outlets take Continental-type plugs, with two round prongs..
