Hilversum is a city in the north of Holland that is surrounded by an abundance of mysterious woodlands, beautiful meadows and picturesque lakes in the vicinity That is why it is no surprise that the city is often called the Garden of Holland. Hilversum even has botanical gardens called Pinetum Blijdenstein that has an amazing collection of endemic plant species as well as lovely blooms from around the world. Since the early 20th century, Hilversum has also earned a reputation as a media hub in Holland since the most prominent multimedia and broadcasting companies of the Netherlands are largely headquartered in this green city. In fact, Hilversum was so well known as a radio transmission center of Europe that many old radio sets made for the European market set their dual positions to Hilversum to pick up its broadcasts.

6. A room with a private bathroom in Hilversum
This is a more modest, budget option for two guests. Somehow, the hosts manage to squeeze a comfortable bed, coffee maker, television, mini fridge and microwave into the limited space. The biggest draw of this private room has to be its location which is right in the center of Hilversum. In the vicinity, you’ll find an array of shops and amenities. If you get hungry, simply pop out to the nearby markets, restaurants, and pubs. The house is walking distance from the central train station. Exploring Hilversum will be a breeze. Last, but not least, it is only 20 minutes from both Amsterdam and Utrecht.!

9. A beautiful, stylish studio in a very old Dutch villa in Hilversum
While the exterior of this studio bears the facade of an old Dutch villa, the interior has been refurbished with a modern look. Two guests can stay in this studio and enjoy their own private entrance. From the studio, the train station and Hilversum city center are close by. You can even take the train to the A'dam or Utrecht regions within 25 minutes. However, your host wishes to highlight that they may be a little noisy at times since they have five children, two dogs, and two roosters! If you don’t mind a bit of activity and liveliness, spending time with your host’s family will make for a memorable experience.
