Introducing Netherlands

The natural beauty of the Netherlands is spectacular, from its fields of well-maintained flowers to its lovely canals, windmills, charming cobblestone city streets, and the cultural and architectural marvels they feature.

The Netherlands (or Holland, as it is also known) is an affluent, sophisticated country located on the North Sea coast between Belgium and Germany. In fact, the Netherlands features impressive and unique modern structures. Some of the most avant-garde examples can be found in Rotterdam, where its modern architecture gives the city a vibrant, contemporary feel. These examples include the rows of cube houses that are close to the Blaak metro, the enormous modern “harp” of the Erasmus Bridge, the spectacular Markthal food market, and the Cube houses of Overblaak Street.
On the other hand, the Dutch countryside is charming and serene. Enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of charming seaside towns like Scheveningen, wander along the trails and rivers of the Keukenhof or enjoy walking through the windmills on Zaanse Schans.

Resorts in Netherlands

Top Locations in Netherlands

Wander by the canals of Amsterdam
One of Amsterdam's most popular attractions are the city's picturesque waterways, which you can explore by boat tour or by taking a water taxi. Alternatively, explore the canals at your own pace by taking a wonderful leisurely walk.
The Garden of Europe
A sight unlike any other, Keukenhof, commonly referred to as the Garden of Europe, bursts with colourful flowers and vegetation. The national flower of the Netherlands is the tulip, and the Garden of Europe, located just outside of Lisse, is considered the biggest garden on the planet. Beautiful flower shows, restaurants, and a wide range of different plants, such as daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses, can be found along the 70 acres of landscape.
Visit the Anne Frank Museum
One of Amsterdam's most well-known attractions is the Anne Frank Museum, which is a very emotional place to visit. During World War II, Anne Frank lived in this building as a place of refuge from the Nazis.
Sample Edam Cheese in Edam
The reddish color and distinctive round form of Edam cheese has made it well known around the world. However, many people are unaware that Edam refers not just to the cheese but also to the charming town from which it originates. The town, which was founded in the 12th century and is situated on water, boasts a variety of cheese-related attractions.
