Use OVpay to easily travel around South Holland by bus, tram, metro or waterbus. The province is simply teeming with exciting attractions and cities, which can make the experience a bit overwhelming. To get the most out of your trip, we have put together several inspiring routes for you. This balanced route will lead you to some of the most stunning outdoor views of South Holland.
Start off your day at the windmills of Kinderdijk. These 19 authentic mills from the 18th century and are an excellent early example of the Dutch expertise in water management. The mills provide a spectacular sight and form a quaint and traditional Dutch landscape that is well worth visiting during your stay in the Netherlands.
Rotterdam is only a little way northwest of Kinderdijk and is a logical next stop. One of the nicest outdoor activities you can undertake in Rotterdam is a board one of Spido’s boats for a cruise through Rotterdam’s impressive port, which is actually the largest in Europe. Marvel at the sheer scale of this wonder of industry and engineering while enjoying a cool breeze through your hair.
A short tram or metro ride away from the Spido docks you’ll find the Euromast. This imposing tower is over 180 metres tall and is one of the eyecatchers of Rotterdam’s skyline. If you climb it you will have a stunning view over the entire city and its surroundings. If the weather is clear you can even see other cities, such as Delft and The Hague. The Euromast is opened during the evening, making it a logical place to end your day trip!
