Netherlands short breaks

You’ll be dazzled by the amazing floral displays when you visit Floriade, a show which only comes to the Netherlands once every 10 years. You will also visit the exciting city of Amsterdam and get the chance to take a scenic canal cruise.

The small and bustling town of Valkenburg in Southern Holland is a popular retreat. The pedestrianised town centre, nestled beneath the castle ruins, is alive with cafés, bars and shops all surrounded by grand Dutch architecture. The town is close to Venlo making the perfect base for our visit to the Floriade 2012 horticultural exhibition.

Your first excursion on this great value holiday is the charming medieval city of Bruges, wander its cobbled streets and sample a local Belgian beer before you journey to the Netherlands where you will spend a day at the spectacular floral show Floriade, which only happens once every 10 years.

Be transported to horticultural heaven with this holiday to the Floriade 2012 exhibition. Prepare to be dazzled by spectacular floral displays and a wondrous showcase of all of nature’s wonderful things from flowers, plants and trees to fruits and vegetables.
