Helpful tips for your trip to Amsterdam
When you rent a motorhome in Amsterdam through CamperDays, the best months to do this are between April and October. It’s not the warmest country in Europe, and it does rain quite a lot there. April and May are the best times to see the tulip fields, and June to August are when you will get better weather. If you want fewer crowds, September to October outside of the peak season might be slightly easier if you are a nervous driver.
- Hiking
The Netherlands is one of the flattest countries in the world, with its biggest mountain being only 322 meters high. However, this doesn’t mean great hiking routes aren't available. The best time to plan a hiking trip is between May and September, but October is still a nice month to do some hiking.
- Cultural experiences
Amsterdam and the Netherlands, in general, are full of culture, and the best time to experience it is between April and October. There are plenty of museums (although mainly in the city centre), but there are also music festivals and other cultural experiences throughout the country.
- Countryside adventures
If you are looking for a motorhome for hire in Amsterdam, then this is by far the best way to see the true Netherlands. Within 30 minutes outside of Amsterdam, you can find some amazing countryside. You can enjoy activities like cycling (which is very popular in Amsterdam), boating or just exploring lovely little towns and villages.
