Southern Holland

If you are looking for diverse landscape blended with rich history and culture, then come to Southern Holland and revel in the locals love of the good life.

Like a water-color painting, the blending of colors from the sea to the sky in Zeeland makes it hard to distinguish the beginning of one or the end of the other. Vast dams and barriers protect the inhabitants from the sea, while connecting the province’s islands like blocks. Enjoy a meal at one of Veere’s restaurants, where the bounty of the ocean is prepared in a luxurious setting with a view of the crashing waves.

The north-end of Limburg is distinguished by hills that begin to crop up among the fields and canals. For leisure lovers, this province offers a combination of German and Belgian influences, culminating in fabulous foods, cheese, beers and entertainment.

Our travelers can take advantage of rental houses or apartments in many areas of Southern Holland. Many have pool access, and can offer visitors prime location in the quaint villages and towns all over the region. Live it in the lap of luxury while you visit local pubs and restaurants, museums and historic sites, all within easy access of your holiday rental.

Every Wednesday and Friday, vendors, even those from Belgium and Germany, line the streets of the Markt (market Square) in Limburg. Peruse the colorful tents and booths while shopping for hand made gifts, accessories and foods.

History lovers can find refuge in the fact that much of this region dates back to medieval times. Take a walk across the Maas River on the Sint-Servaasbrug Bridge that dates back to 1289.  Or make your way to Op de Thermen and see the outline of the Roman thermal baths in the cobblestones. Here historians can also take in the sights of the antique fortifications along the south wall of the Jeker River.

If you’re looking for fun on your trip, take the road to Maastricht and be amazed by the colorful clothing and faces that crowd the cobblestone streets. Melodies fill the air and tables spill out onto the streets from the five-hundred bars and restaurants in the city. Since the fifteenth century, the Maastricht Carnival has delighted and entertained visitors with fabulous food, silly sidewalk entertainers and musicians.

An eclectic grouping of luxurious fun and picturesque geography, Southern Holland offers vacationers a truly unique experience. Take the time to see this fabulous region of the Netherlands on your next holiday.
