How much does a weekend in Zandvoort cost with the family?
The cost depends on your choices, but Zandvoort offers flexibility. In April, prices are often lower than in the high season.
Your biggest expenses are:
- The accommodation. This depends on the period, the accommodation and the type of room. The average accommodation price is €150 per room.
- Food and drink. You can make this as expensive as you like. Many flats have a kitchen or kitchenette, which reduces the cost of food and drink. But of course a nice lunch or dinner on the beach is also possible.
- Parking or transport. A day ticket in the car park costs €15, but Zandvoort is the only seaside resort with a train connection to Haarlem and Amsterdam and is therefore also easily accessible by public transport.
Why is spring perfect for a weekend getaway?
Spring is a wonderful time of year. It is quieter than summer, but everything starts to come alive. Nature turns green, the sun comes out more often and the temperatures are pleasant. For families, this means relaxed fun without the crowds. Perfect for a spontaneous trip or a planned weekend away.
