• Colour Spectacle at the Keukenhof. Open for 2 months only, from March – May, the Keukenhof is the world's largest flower garden, filled with tulips, hyacinths and daffodils.
• Haarlem. The city of Haarlem was established in 1245 and is older than Amsterdam. In the past 800+ years, not much has changed in the streets of Haarlem. Walking through Haarlem is like walking through history!
• Guided Tour. Get the maximum pleasure from a hike or cycle trip with a guide who knows the way and has prepared a special route. Take a break from the beach and set out for a tour of nature reserves, places of historic and cultural interest in Noordwijk, Leiden, The Hague, the bulb-growing area and the Old Rhine Delta. Relax and listen (via a walkie-talkie), enjoying what you will learn about the historic background of these areas.
• Historical Tour. Weekly tours through the historical centre of Noordwijk-Binnen in cooperation with ‘Genootschap Oud Noordwijk’. This year there are also ‘Verborgen Klanken’: Tours with musical or theatre shows on unique locations, brought to you by foundation ‘Kunstklank’.
• Delft, The Hague, Madurodam. Only about one hour away are the cities of The Hague and Delft. Visit Delft, the city from where the famous Delfts Blue Pottery originated. See how Dutch Royalty lives in The Hague, with a tour of the palaces and residences. For The Netherlands in a nutshell, literally, visit Madurodam.
• European Sand Sculpture Festival. At the end of August, the European Sand Sculptures Festival will take place at the Koningin Wilhelmina Boulevard in Noordwijk aan Zee.

The Defence Line was inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996 because of its value for all mankind.
