Noordwijk is a town of 44,000 people (2021) in South Holland. Noordwijk is divided into two parts: Noordwijk aan Zee (the old fishing settlement, and now more touristy and with good shopping) on the dunes, and Noordwijk Binnen (the older, historic village) slightly further in land.

Museum about the Engelandvaarders, people fleeing the Netherlands during Nazi occupation (1940-1945) trying to cross the North Sea to reach England.
Various showcases of space flight technology, also serves as an ESA visitors' center.
Think twice about getting a starter dish! Big meals for a good price.
The best ice cream in town. So good that locals even come here after dinner at home. Buy an ice cream, sit on one of the benches outside and watch the good and great come past. Had a very large selection of flavours.
Nice small bar with lots of different locals around! Be sure to try the Korenwolf draught beer.
By public transit
Noordwijk itself does not have a train station. The station is {{station|Voorhout railway station|city=nl|spr}}.
As with all small towns in Holland, a bike is by far the best way to get around.
