Our district of Bergen lies on the North Sea coast and attracts a great many tourists. Some visit for a day trip, others spend their entire holiday here. There is a good 25 kilometres of beaches, there are forests, dunes and polders with special flora and fauna. Swimming, cycling and walking are available in abundance. Hotels, restaurants, campsites, museums and many other facilities allow you to have a pleasant stay. The entire area lies 35 kilometres to the north-west of the capital city, Amsterdam. So it is close to the big city, but the area is characterised by nature, rest and space.
