Everything you need to know about visiting the Netherlands

Here are rules and some helpful info that Brits need to know before visiting the Netherlands.

Brits must have at east three months left on their passport from the day they plan to leave the country.

Tourists do not need a visa if they’re visiting for up to 90 days in a 180-day period.

Passports should be stamped on entry and exit.

Travellers may be asked to show hotel booking confirmations and that they have enough money to cover their stay on arrival at the border.

Some people may also be asked to show proof of travel insurance.

The country uses the Euro, with €10 working out at close to £8.55.

Flights to the Netherlands take around an hour to two hours, depending on the city of departure.

A variety of mobile food outlets can be found throughout the gardens selling coffee and snacks.

There are other food and drink options available at the park entrance too.

Tickets for the garden can be bought online from €19 (£16) for adults and €9 (£7.75) for kids.
