My best secrets for a cheap trip in Netherlands

#postandearn welcome back! I just finished my latest journey in #haarlem in #netherlands and let me tell you the following tips and tricks that you can use to save and enjoy the country at its fullest: Planning on watching the #tulipseason and all the flowers around all the fields? Plan ahead for April-May as they won last for the year Secondly, it is important to rent a car if you want to move around the country as even public transportation is greener, but could be even more expensive than renting a car. Also, something I like is that Netherlands is pushing forward an extremely increasing electric vehicles industry so most of the rental places, are already renting you hybrid cars which for example I just use it to move around around the country for three days and just spent $10 in a few, which is a great saving as well and if you book it from the main airport in Amsterdam, you might be able to have cheap prices starting from €15 per day of rent; Thirdly, if planning to do one of the “mainstream” experiences in Netherlands either you can refer to #coffeeshop or #smartshop depending on what you’re looking for and always follow their safety tips you’re given if you have also any questions concerning the topic, you can feel free to send me a comment and I will be able to help you. And the fourth tip is that once you have a car, it will be way more cheaper to stay around and find local deals in other villages which will be more traditional, even more than staying in #amsterdam as it’s very touristy so in three days, I just drove all around the coastline I went to the beach l, which was way more local than I expected so I could be more grateful that I had a full experience in Netherlands, where I saw almost no tourists.
