Destination Information for Netherlands
The low-lying country of the Netherlands can be found in north-western Europe, and is known for its landscape of canals, tulip fields, windmills and cycling routes. The capital is Amsterdam, and its numerous canals can be explored by boat tour or water taxi, or tourists may prefer to hire a bicycle and explore the sights this way instead. It is a place of impressive culture, with the Anne Frank Museum and Van Gogh Museum containing exhibitions of serious historical significance.
The Netherlands also boasts one of the world’s most diverse national park programmes, the largest being Hoge Veluwe National Park. This area is home to a number of red and roe deer, which inhabit the densely packed woodland in the north. Artistic influence is also prominent here, as there is a sculpture park and the Kröller-Müller Museum, which contains the world’s second-largest collection of works by Van Gogh.
