The Netherlands, bordering Belgium and Germany are well known for flat and level landscapes, the bulb fields in the west, the lakes of the central and northern area, the coastal dunes, and of course the dikes, canals and windmills.
The best time to go is from mid-may to early October as the Winters are long, damp and cold. The tulip season runs from April to mid-May.
Of course the Netherlands are also famous for painters such as Rembrandt, Jan Vermeer, Frans Hals and Van Gogh. |
