You will find that it has shaped not only the landscape, but also its people and ultimately their culture. After an active day, you should visit one of the countless fish restaurants and enjoy  regional seafood specialities of Zeeland, such as mussels, herring and oysters.

Zuid-Holland (South Holland) is the Dutch province which houses most of the big cities in the Netherlands, amongst them The Hague and Rotterdam. At the same time, the province is known for its varied nature and landscape. It will come as no surprise to you that also during their holidays the Dutch people love to bike. That means that bike paths are incredibly well built and cycle path networks are thoroughly developed.
