Book your flight to the Netherlands online.  Holland's original name - the Netherlands - reflects the large amounts of territory which sit at water level, around the mouths of the rivers Rajna and Maas. Without the flood defences, the country would sit under water. The Dutch have been building these flood defences for hundreds of years, and the structures themselves represent feats of civil engineering, resilient to the barrage of water and wind from the North Sea. In the historical cities of Holland we can see the same attention to detail reflected in the churches, courtyards and canals.  Holland's history can be traced in the streets of Rotterdam or the authority of the Hague, the Dutch legislative capital. And the legacy of the 1960s can be seen in Amsterdam, a true capital city, with a diverting selection of entertainment options attracting millions of young and not-so-young visitors each year.  Reserve discount tickets to Amsterdam with Malev.

City of bicycles and coffeehouses

In Amsterdam you can see hundreds of bicycles everywhere, generally regarded as the most usable form of transport in the larger cities in the Netherlands. Town planning incorporates the use of bicycles as an important feature, bicycle lanes being as vital to Amsterdam's urban landscape as the famous canals. The centre of Amsterdam is therefore kept clean, with less cars than most cities of a similar size. Residents live in the centre amongst the coffeehouses and modern shopping facilities. In particular, the „Brown Coffeehouses" are notable historical buildings and good venues for sampling Dutch beer. Find out more about prices of flights to Amsterdam.

Tulips and famous painters

Holland is great for people who want quiet countryside as well as lively city life. The countryside is dotted with castles, quiet restaurants and canal-houses, and it's normally assured that the hospitality will be friendly. Famous for Heineken, dairy products such as Edam and blue cheese, Holland allows visitors to sample whatever they enjoy.  The enormous collections of Rembrandt are available to see on rotation, with the second part available to see from October to the end of the year, containing the rarely exhibited works from his later period. Rijks is another notable collection, with a permanent exhibition of Rembrendt, Vermeer, Hals and Jan Steen. You can also visit Rembrandt's house, and of course the Van Gogh Museum. With such options available, a trip to Holland is a unique experience. Discount flights to Amsterdam can take less than 2 hours.
