Welcome to the Netherlands
Unique. There is no other country in the world quite like the Netherlands for the discerning tourist. It is a country as much defined by its environment as it is by its history.
Any visitor to the Netherlands can anticipate a rich treat in a small package - the best gifts come in small boxes after all.
No matter where you travel in the Netherlands, you'll be immersed in the Dutch way of living. The entire country has a manicured feel to it, resulting from an extensive and historic fight against nature to hold on to their small land mass. Coupled with their penchant for defining as much of the land as they are able to, the Netherlands is a rich bounty for any intrepid tourist.
The defining features and cliches of Dutch culture and society are on exhibition everywhere and are ripe for the picking by indulgent tourist. So many birds, bikes, boats, bridges, cafés, canals, cheeses, dykes, fish, flowers, polders, windmills and unusually tall people. All decked out in Dutch flair with vivid orange (the national color). All this comes together in one small but spectacular package for the tourist. Never could a traveller experience so much in so little time and space. The Netherlands is quite simply unique.
