Traffic chaos on Holland's beaches: travel warning for this summer!

special events and their influence

Several major events take place in Amsterdam during the main travel period, which will further tighten the situation. These are:

• 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam (June 21 to 24)
• NATO summit (June 22nd to 26th)
• Sail event (20 to 24 August)

These events attract hundreds of thousands of visitors and lead to expected additional motorway closures and increased traffic volume, especially during the week around the Sail Festival. Travelers who can reschedule their vacation should avoid these periods in order to keep the travel time as short as possible.

travel alternatives and recommendations

For vacationers who have already booked a trip to the coast, only remain patient or retire their plans. Travelers should check to what extent they can switch to less well -known beach regions or public transport. The rail connections, however, do not fall completely under the traffic jam, since the Amsterdam train station takes place.

In addition, digital warning systems and traffic information from the "vaststaan ​​of male paths" are being used. This can help to obtain current information about construction sites and traffic conditions and to better adapt to the conditions.

vacationers from North Rhine-Westphalia should also be prepared to significantly extend the travel time and, if possible, move travel to the region late in the fall. The coming months are a major challenge for all travelers who want to head for the Dutch coast. A plan B is essential due to the current circumstances.
