Netherlands

The Netherlands is a small, flat country full of memorable images: Amsterdam's canals lined with historic houses, colourful tulip fields in spring, old windmills along the rivers and bicycles filling the streets. Beyond Amsterdam, cities such as Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht offer an appealing mix of bold modern architecture and charming old quarters. Short distances and efficient public transport make it easy and enjoyable to visit several cities in a single trip.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families enjoy canal boat tours, the Keukenhof gardens in flower season and the village of Zaanse Schans with its windmills and traditional workshops. Art lovers spend hours in the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, while The Hague attracts visitors with its international institutions and the nearby beach at Scheveningen. The Netherlands is also an important hub for trade, shipping and business, particularly in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, which makes it a good choice for business trips and trade fairs too.
