The Netherlands

World-famous museums, historic monuments, picturesque canals, and lively nightlife make this country a must-visit for its warm and respectful people.

The Netherlands, known informally as Holland, is a constituent nation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands located in western Europe. The country is a democratic parliamentary constitutional monarchy bordering the North Sea, Belgium and Germany. The Netherlands became important in the Middle Ages, when the foundations of free trade began to be laid. A strong identity inherited from a prestigious past based on openness and balance.

Renowned for its fields of tulips as far as the eye can see, punctuated by windmills, and the quality of its cheeses, a trip to the Netherlands is an inevitable foray into liberal and tolerant environments, evident, for example, in the capital Amsterdam, a city emblematic of a certain art of living, with its canals, its museums, its bicycles, its red-light district and its cafés. But also, picturesque Delft, modern Rotterdam, which will delight fans of avant-garde architecture, or The Hague, the country's government capital, known as the International City of Peace.
