Tourist Information about Netherlands

Netherlands emerged in 1830, from a mixture of such influences like the Romans and Gauls, right through to the Hapsburgs and the Spanish. It used to project a traditional image of canals, windmills and tulips. But now, it is at par with its neighboring countries in terms of contemporary developments.

The country's capital is Amsterdam , a city that spreads its beauty to wanderers from all over. One can enjoy the sceneries aboard boats, or enjoy a visit to culture-rich museums. Among the majestic cities of Netherlands are Arnhem , The Hague and Rotterdam . After its almost total destruction during the 2 nd World War, Rotterdam has rebuilt itself from its rubbles and arose as one of the world's biggest ports and a leader in urban regeneration.

The countryside casts its breathtaking spell through stunning medieval towns like Utrecht and Delft . Holland 's major natural attraction is its extensive strip of coastline, much of it placed with artificial sea walls and inland seas, to combat the strong waves of the North Sea .
