How much does a vacation in the Netherlands cost

The Netherlands is not a cheap country. Even with a special operator's offer and cost-cutting measures, a vacation in Van Gogh's homeland won't be comparable in cost to a budget trip to Turkey or Egypt.

Prices for a vacation in the Netherlands are designed for upper-middle-income earners, so you'll need some savings.

An approximate cost of a vacation in the Netherlands can be calculated based on the following rates:

• Airfare economy class round trip - from 124 to 300 EUR;
• Lodging in a hostel - from 18 to 20 EUR in northern and western regions, 20-30 EUR in the southern provinces, and 33 - 38 EUR in the eastern part of the country;
• Lodging in a comfort-class hotel (three or four stars) - from 80 to 100 EUR in the western regions, 70-80 EUR in the south, and 60-70 EUR in the eastern provinces;
• Fare for public transportation - from 1.50 EUR on the national average; in Amsterdam from approximately 2.80 EUR;
• Average check in a cafe - from 15 to 25 EUR;
• Dinner in a restaurant 30-50 EUR.

When buying a ready-made tour, the cost of airfare and hotel accommodation is included in the price of the trip. However, the operator will charge the client a commission for intermediary services. On hot tours in the Netherlands, the prices are noticeably lower: with some effort, you can find a good deal for up to 900 EUR.

When independently organizing a tour, the prices are controlled by the traveler. The ability to minimize the cost of subsistence and airfare provides real savings that are an order of magnitude more than a hot vacation.

Since the main cost of travel is airfare, the most tangible results come from booking a cheap flight as part of a special offer from the carrier. Look for comfortable fares on the portal tripmydream - and you'll be in luck!
