A short holiday by the sea\u2026 in the Netherlands. The small town of Zandvoort aan Zee is perfect for a weekend visit, offering relaxation and exciting experiences for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zandvoort aan Zee is the most famous coastal resort in the province of North Holland. The town is so famous that Sisi, Empress of Austria, spent her holiday there several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town of around 17,000 inhabitants attracts around 5 million tourists every year. They come from Amsterdam for just a day or stay for a longer holiday in one of the city’s many accommodations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considerations before a short holiday in Zandvoort aan Zee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the best way to get to Zandvoort? I travelled from Berlin with Deutsche Bahn. It was an easy connection for me, as there is a direct train to Amsterdam. It even runs six times a day and takes about 6 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Amsterdam, you can then change to a regional train to Zandvoort. This train runs every hour or so and takes just under 30 minutes to reach the town’s railway station. The beach is only a 10-minute walk from the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to stay overnight in the town, you will find a wide range of accommodation from holiday homes to hotels. I stayed at the Hotel At Sea<\/a> Zandvoort during my holiday. A small hotel in a quiet side street, but so centrally located that you can get everywhere quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
