A short trip to Netherlands

Undoubtedly the jewel of Europe, Netherlands is a country in north-western Europe. It borders the North Sea to the north and west, and its neighbouring countries are Belgium and Germany.

Be it the capital Amsterdam with its famous Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art, Rembrandt House, its Heineken experience for beer lovers and stunning 17th century canals, the Keukenhof Gardens at Lisse, West Frisian islands, the seaside resorts in Scheveningen, Noordwijk and Bergen, islands of Zeelands, Haarlem with its excellent museums, Maastricht’s vibrant nightlife, Delft- home to Vermeer and blue and white pottery, the Hoge Veluwe National Park near Arnhem or for the open-air museums at Arnhem, Enkhuizen and Zaandam; Netherlands has been able to attract a large number of tourists. Its other main cities are Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague. The best time to visit Netherlands is from June to August. Visit the Keukenhof gardens with its flower shows, gardens of daffodils, and fields of tulips which are a feast for the eyes from mid-March to mid-May.

A country of windmills, cafes, cheese, bridges and canals, coffee shops, stunning countryside with its triangular rooftop shaped cubic houses, dikes, national parks, museums and sheep patrolled polders; Netherlands’ mesmerizing beauty is hard to miss.
