Netherlands Vacation Guide
The Netherlands is a small constitutional monarchy in Western Europe which is home to almost 17 million people.
Although the North Sea endangers 1/2 of the landmass the Dutch have managed to make this risk profitable. The port of Rotterdam, one of the world's largest ports, is very important for the European economies. The Netherlands is also known for its tolerance (towards homosexuals, drugs and minorities), its folklore (tulips, windmills and clugs) and its painters (Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Vermeer).
The Netherlands is divided into 12 provinces and all of them have some own local traditions and customs. The currency used in the Netherlands is the euro.
Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, is famous for its old city center with canals, the redlight district and many coffee shops. Remember that most Dutch citizens do not use (soft) drugs and that 'coffeeshops' mostly attract tourists.
The seat of government is Den Haag, or The Hague. Holland’s Royal City has a rich history and tradition. The city never fails to impress visitors with its elegant atmosphere, broad tree lined avenues, boutiques, castles, the Dutch Parliament and many international institutes and organisations.
When visiting the Netherlands, remember there is more than just Amsterdam! Modern Rotterdam (port, architecture); historical towns such as Utrecht, Leiden, Delft; the skillful Delta works and the beautiful countrysides of the Northern and Eastern parts are definitely worth a visit.
