The 12 Best European Holiday Towns to Visit this Fall

7. Zandvoort, Netherlands
Zandvoort is a utilitarian beach town that despite its plain appearance is one of the Netherland’s most popular holiday destinations. Most people who visit Zandvoort already have their own holiday home, but if you’re coming in from an international destination, getting an Airbnb is easy, especially if you’re traveling on the off-season.
Other than swimming, the most popular beach activities are kitesurfing and wavesurfing. There are tons of restaurants in the area, and locals organize a number of different food-based competitions through the summer, including potato peeling, and mackerel smoking.
