Two most beautiful holiday destinations
1. Always sunny Carinthia
In the south of Austria lies Carinthia. One of the sunniest and most beautiful holiday destinations in Europe, in both winter and summer. Among Dutch holidaymakers, this special holiday destination is still very much unknown. For us, the holiday parks in Carinthia are in the top 10 most beautiful EuroParcs holiday destinations. Here you will find a perfect mix of beautiful nature, rich culture and adventurous outdoor activities. In winter, Nassfeld turns into a winter sports paradise with wide slopes and cosy alpine villages. In summer, hike and mountain bike trails take you through vast valleys and past clear blue lakes. Is an active holiday less your thing?No worries, at holiday park EuroParcs Hermagor - Nassfeld and holiday park EuroParcs Pressegger See you are also in the right place for a relaxing holiday in the mountains. Do you prefer something closer to the cultural cities, but still surrounded by nature? Then take a look at our holiday park EuroParcs Wörthersee and holiday park EuroParcs Ossiacher See.
2. Amsterdam: always worth a visit
You should always pay a visit to the popular capital of the Netherlands if you happen to be in the neighbourhood. It's not just cosy bars and restaurants, delicious fries and lots of culture.
There is plenty to discover on a stroll through the city: explore the area on a boat tour from the water, marvel at the beautiful canal houses and charming bridges and enjoy the picturesque atmosphere.
Art fans can enjoy the Rijksmuseum and marvel at works by Rembrandt and Vermeer. At Madame Tussauds Amsterdam you can look at famous personalities in life size and the Anne Frank House is also worth a visit.
If you prefer something a little more active, you can hire a bike and try out Amsterdam's traffic. Alternatively, we recommend a cycle tour through the Vondelpark or through the city's wider neighbourhood.
There is something exciting for everyone in Amsterdam, whether as a family, a group of friends or alone. Combine your stay at EuroParcs Poort van Amsterdam, EuroParcs Het Amsterdamse Bos or EuroParcs Spaarnwoude with a visit to the city and explore fascinating Amsterdam for yourself!
Two unique holiday destinations for special overnight stays
3. Forest walks in the Veluwe
The Veluwe is surely the beating heart of Dutch flora and fauna. That's why it is one of our special overnight stay destinations. With its dense forests, vast heaths and magnificent red deer, our holiday parks in the Veluwe certainly deserve a place in the top 10 most beautiful EuroParcs holiday destinations. Especially as you have plenty of options for special accommodation here. Unique Tiny Houses, tree houses or a Water Lodge, for example. But culture lovers, beware! The Veluwe may be the perfect holiday destination for you. Admire exclusive works by Van Gogh at the Kröller-Müller Museum, take a peek into the lifestyle of the Dutch monarchy at Paleis Het Loo and sample local delicacies in the historic Hanseatic towns. At holiday park EuroParcs De Zanding, holiday park EuroParcs Beekbergen, holiday park EuroParcs De Hooge Veluwe or holiday park EuroParcs Marina Strandbad, you will stay in the middle of the Veluwe forests and close to National Park De Hoge Veluwe.
4. Watersports paradise the Veluwemeer
In the middle of the Netherlands lies the former Zuiderzee, the Veluwemeer. this lake is one of our other special holiday destinations. This huge freshwater lake stretches from Harderwijk to Elburg and in many places is no deeper than one metre on average. Our holiday parks on the Veluwemeer are ideal for both beginners and experienced water sports enthusiasts. In summer, it is great to relax here with several sandy beaches, cosy beach clubs and nice places in the area. At the end of winter, the Veluwemeer is even the holiday destination of a flock of flamingos! When Lake Veluwe was still the Zuiderzee, Harderwijk, Elburg and Hattem were booming trading centres. Walking through these Hanseatic towns really brings the Hanseatic era back to life. At holiday park EuroParcs Veluwemeer and holiday park EuroParcs Bad Hoophuizen, you can celebrate your holiday directly by the water and close to the woods. Across the lake you will also find our holiday park EuroParcs Zuiderzee, with luxury glamping tents right on the water!
Two best family holiday destinations
5. Magical forests and castles in Luxembourg
Small but majestic Luxembourg is often skipped as a holiday destination. But why really? It is one of the best holiday destinations to go to with your family. No matter how big your family or household is. When you say Luxembourg, we say 'size doesn't matter'. The landscape of this grand duchy is characterised by green forested slopes, deep valleys, flowing streams and impressive castles. And the nice thing about such a small country is that you can get from one extreme to the other in just over an hour. The distances are short, but the impressions are great. Perfect for a family holiday. One thing you should definitely not miss during your holiday at our holiday parks in Luxembourg is the enchanting Müllerthal. You will recognise this breathtaking wooded area by its typical rock formations, winding paths and meandering rivers. Wake up in your luxury chalet and start the day with freshly baked rolls on your veranda overlooking the Our River at holiday park EuroParcs Kohnenhof. From the holiday park, cross the bridge and follow a hiking trail straight through untouched nature.
6. Breathtaking nature in Belgian Limburg
By now we know how beautiful Limburg is in the Netherlands, but have you ever been to our holiday parks in Belgian Limburg? As one of our best family holiday destinations, this province offers so much versatility that there is something fun for every age. In the south lies Haspengouw, where you are surrounded by orchards with all kinds of fruit trees. The Romans certainly left their traces here. In historical Tongeren, you can discover them in the Gallo-Roman Museum, among other places. In the northeast, just across the Dutch border, you will find the Limburgse Kempen. An area teeming with beautiful forests, ponds and lakes. It is also home to Hoge Kempen National Park, the only national park in Belgium. A very unique cycling route is 'Cycling through water', which starts near Bokrijk. At holiday park EuroParcs Hoge Kempen you will find complete relaxation. Do you prefer a luxury chalet or camping under the stars?
Two fun holiday destinations with kids
7. Hilly and Burgundian South Limburg
For that wonderful foreign feeling, you can also just take the car! Especially when going on holiday with kids. There is no denying that South Limburg is among the most nicest holiday destinations. The picturesque landscape with its rolling hills, vineyards and half-timbered farmhouses is reminiscent of Tuscany. In South Limburg, epicurean pleasures such as traditional regional products like beer, syrup and flan take centre stage. You may already have crossed the famous capital Maastricht or the caves of Valkenburg off your list, but what about undiscovered villages such as Geulle, Sibbe and Elsloo? Our EuroParcs holiday parks in South Limburg all have a unique location. For a holiday park with panoramic views and close to a subtropical swimming paradise, holiday park EuroParcs Gulperberg is the place to be. Holiday park EuroParcs Brunssummerheide is located on the edge of the nature reserve of the same name. Looking for some entertainment? At holiday park EuroParcs Poort van Maastricht, you will stay in luxury and comfort, with the Limburg capital just around the corner.
8. Miles of sandy beaches in Zeeland
Among Dutch people, Zeeland is an often overlooked as a destination, which is why we like to highlight Zeeland, because it is indeed one of our nicest holiday destinations! Our summers are getting hotter and our need to cool down is increasing. Why travel for hours with the kids to lie hut to hut on a Spanish costa, when Zeeland has 650 kilometres of coastline? We thought so too! Our holiday parks in Zeeland simply have it all. From beautiful sandy beaches to cultural riches and from charming seaside resorts to Michelin-starred restaurants. All Zeeland's islands have their own character and each Zeeland village its own story. With an eventful history, from the Ice Age to the Flood Disaster, there is plenty of culture to discover in Zeeland. Your wonderful break in the dunes of Zeeland starts at holiday park EuroParcs Cadzand or holiday park EuroParcs Bad Meersee. Prefer an all-inclusive experience with the children in Zeeland? Then check out our holiday park EuroParcs Schoneveld.

9. Water, wilderness and culture in Friesland
Of all holidays, Friesland is a fantastic holiday destination in our own country. Nowhere in the Netherlands has the culture remained as authentic as in Friesland. Primarily because of its language, of course, but also certainly because of the perseverance of the proud Frisians. Recently, our holiday parks in Friesland have been included in the top 10 most beautiful EuroParcs holiday destinations. Here you will discover vast landscapes where greenery, lakes and rivers alternate. With all that water, you have an entire province in which to sail, canoe or simply relax. Above all, Friesland is the perfect destination for nature lovers. Is your battery recharged from all the bird watching, hiking and cycling in pristine nature reserves? Then seek out the culture and discover the famous Elfsteden, including Sneek, Leeuwarden and Hindeloopen. Of course, you can also just stay overnight here. Our brand new holiday park EuroParcs Hindeloopen is located in a unique spot right on the IJsselmeer.
10. Mudflats on Texel
Wide beaches, picturesque villages and Skuumkoppe. We are, of course, talking about holiday parks on Texel! This holiday destination is undoubtedly one of the top 10 EuroParcs holiday destinations. On this nature-rich Wadden Island you will find vast dunes, beautiful forests, grazing sheep and perhaps the most beautiful beaches in Northern Europe.
The perfect destination for long beach walks, sunbathing or trying a new water sport. De Slufter nature reserve is also a must-see. In Ecomare, you can learn all about the Wadden Sea and, last but not least, spot seals! Texel is a wonderful destination to explore by e-chopper, solex or just by bike.
Along the way, stop at a cheese farm to sample fresh, Texel cheeses. Holiday park EuroParcs Texel is just a 10-minute drive from De Koog and the adjoining beach. You will stay here in the middle of the dune landscape, in a luxurious and comfortable chalet (with air conditioning!).
