Why The Netherlands?
Welcome to The Netherlands! Having traveled and traded for centuries, the Dutch mastered speaking several languages. Being a creative, open minded and pragmatic nation we attract many foreigners to The Netherlands, which resulted in our country being a true melting pot of cultures, religions and languages. The good thing about The Netherlands is you don’t have to travel far to find a vast array of experiences. Besides charming Amsterdam, consider venturing out to modern Rotterdam, cultural hot spot Utrecht, royal city The Hague, young Groningen or shopping mecca Maastricht. Smaller cities rich in history, with lots to see and do are canal towns like Haarlem and Leiden and authentic places such as Edam, Delft and Gouda. In short The Netherlands has all ingredients for a great travel experience: rich history, beautiful sights to see, plenty of things to do, great food, warm hospitality and easy to get around.
