Yep, that’s Holland in Michigan – not the country. Yet people could be forgiven for mistaking them (and thinking they’d got seriously lost). This cute and colourful lakeside town has a strong Dutch heritage and it certainly doesn’t hide it. Holland has an enviable location on two lakes, Michigan and Macatawa, and looks especially lovely in spring when its six million tulips burst into bright, beautiful blooms. Oh, and there's a few windmills, too.
