Amsterdam is a special place with a very unique urban landscape and incredibly open and warm people. The canals or Grachten, how they are called there, flow through the city like veins, giving natural vitality to a otherwise very urban place.
Spring is a special time in the Netherlands. It is the season of the tulips and the whole country seems to be in bloom. I always wanted to do a biking trip in Holland around this time of the year and I finally managed to do it in April of 2017. It all started where it always starts – in the awesome city of Amsterdam, right exactly at the time when the place was waking up from it’s winter sleep.

The natural beauty of Holland is stunning. You never stop to marvel when cycling around the vast and seemingly endless fields of the Netherlands. Especially in spring the country is beautiful, when the nature comes alive again and the tulips are in full bloom. Hop on the bike and take a ride with me!
When traveling Holland you notice a lot of beautiful landscapes, endless tulip fields and scenic views on windmills. But the towns are as interesting and pretty as the nature surrounding them. The following pictures were shot in Leiden, Gouda, Woerden and Delft.
