Bergen is an artist village and upper-income suburb in North Holland, popular among travellers for its seaside beaches and dunes. A few kilometers further north are the villages of Schoorl and Groet, both near enough to walk from Bergen, with the Schoorlse Duinen nature reserve as its main tourist attraction. South is Egmond aan Zee, also a calm seaside destination.
The most efficient way of getting around Bergen is by bike, however, both local supermarkets offer adequate parking space for cars, most of which is paid.
