Katwijk, Coastal municipality at North Sea, Netherlands
The municipality of Katwijk extends across 31 square kilometers along the North Sea coast, featuring sandy beaches and residential neighborhoods.
Romans established a settlement called Lugdunum Batavorum at the Rhine river mouth, making it a strategic point for voyages to Britain.
The Katwijks Museum preserves local heritage through exhibitions of maritime artifacts, traditional costumes, and historical documents from the region.
Public transportation connects Katwijk to surrounding cities through extensive bus services operated by Arriva and Q-Buzz, compensating for the absence of a railway station.
The flowering bulb fields surrounding Katwijk create colorful landscapes from late March to mid-May, with peak blooming occurring in April.
