Top 10 Things to Do in Texel – the Netherlands, Den Burg, Netherlands

A few weeks ago, I went to Texel for a couple of days. Texel, is one of the Dutch Frisian Islands, also known as the Dutch Wadden Islands. It is the biggest ‘Wadden Island’ in the Wadden Sea. When you plan to visit the Netherlands, a short stay or one day trip to Texel should be included. It is a beautiful island, easy reachable from Amsterdam, and there are plenty of nice things to do! This post will tell you more about the 10 different exciting things that you can do in Texel.

Or just watch, instead of climbing the lighthouse! The lighthouse is around 35 meters high and looks amazing. The surrounding is beautiful as well. It will cost you € 4,00 to climb up the 153 steps, but at the top, you can overview the Dutch coast very well!

It is good to notice that there is no elevator in the lighthouse and that dogs are not allowed to enter. The lighthouse is daily open from 10:00 till 17:00 between March and October, and between November and February only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays (also 10:00 till 17:00). Please note that this information is subjected to change. Visit the lighthouse’s website for the most up to date information. ......
