Netherlands Travel Guide You Need At Every Step

The country with a strong survival instinct…the one which made it right to the top of every travellers list despite being below sea level is also mistakenly referred to as Holland by almost everyone. More than 2500 square miles of the land which now belongs to Netherlands was once claimed from the Sea and Lakes by using massive horse power and gigantic windmills; creating one of the biggest tributes to the strength and fortitude of man.

Netherlands is now known for its bewitching canals, profusion of windmills, bright fields of tulips and amazing cycling routes. Amsterdam… the capital city is best explored by cycle rides or boat rides through its canals while you stare at the architecturally marvellous buildings.

Rotterdam brims over with restaurants, hotels and shopping hubs. However the real beauty of Netherlands is in its greens… a trip to the Naardemeer Nature Reserve of Amsterdam or the Veluwe National Park will open up your eyes to its lovely flora and fauna.

A visit to the Kinderdijk will inspire you as you understand how the Dutch used windmills ingeniously to empty water out of massive lakes while Keukenhof with its displays of more than 700 variants of tulips will stun you. Culturally this is a free secular land, one of the first countries to validate same sex marriages and its streets and cafes are filled with tall young people who aren’t afraid to voice opinions.

You will find Netherlands an interesting experience and your trip will have more value if you know about its lesser known facets and attractions as well. Know all about Netherlands in this detailed guide.

Here is a great place to start: About Netherlands Tourism.
