For inspiration and colorful photos, plan your vacation in the Netherlands in February, when the entire country immerses itself in the triumphant spirit of Carnival.
As if in mockery of a gloomy sky ready to burst into freezing rain at any moment, the Dutch dress up in picturesque masquerade costumes and merrily take to the streets during February.
"Carnival" tours to the Netherlands in February typically focus on Limburg and North Brabant, with Maastricht's historic panorama serving as a brilliant backdrop for the carnival festivities.
The majority of gastronomic tours to the Netherlands in February also lead southward. The festive cuisine of the Catholic provinces has a distinct local flavor. For passionate art collectors, a visit to the contemporary art fair in Rotterdam is a delightful bonus to the tour, while ladies can enhance their winter vacation in the Netherlands with exclusive rejuvenating procedures. The country's largest spa complex, Thermae 2000, is located in Valkenburg, a historic suburb of the capital Limburg.
Given the specific nature of the period, it's important to understand that the prices for tours to the Netherlands in February are not typical of the low season. A standard six-day trip will cost between 1345-1700 EUR, which includes the charter and accommodation in a comfort-class hotel. However, once the carnival season is over, prices for Netherlands holidays in February return to more moderate levels, stabilizing at around 1000-1200 EUR.
