things that normally spring to mind when anyone mentions Netherlands. It is a country

In spring time, the countryside is awash with vibrant colour
as the bulb-fields bloom. As a country it has the highest population density in
Europe. Its people are friendly and know how to relax and party hard,
especially in the big cities. English is widely spoken (especially in the west
of the country) and it has a public transport system to die for.
Netherlands is an ideal destination for those who enjoy outdoor
pursuits such as walking and cycling. But it also has a wealth of culture in
its architecture and art with numerous museums and galleries displaying the
stunning works of artists such as Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Jan Vermeer.
When you think of Netherlands, normally Amsterdam
comes to mind. It is hardly surprising as the mere mention of the name conjures
romantic images of the capital of culture, coffee shops and canals. Of course,
to others it immediately brings to mind the red light district and a liberal
attitude towards drugs. But whichever camp you are in, one thing is certain –
it is a stunning city with much to offer its visitors
But Netherlands doesn’t just stop in Amsterdam there are also
other wonderful cities to explore such as Rotterdam, The Hague, Maastricht,
Haarlem, Leiden and Delft.
The currency used in Netherlands is the Euro. All major credit
cards are accepted and ATMs are widely available. Foreign currency and
travellers’ cheques can be exchanged at any bank, post office or bureau de
change (marked GWK).
