Welcome to the country that borders to the North Sea in the west and north, to Germany in the east, to Belgium in the south and that is filled with channels, tulips, “old masters”, windmills, house boats, “part-time vegetarians”, orange dressed footballers and bitterballen – we are of course talking about the Netherlands!
Netherlands is area wise smaller than Denmark yet larger than Switzerland, it has a very flat landscape with large areas that used to be the bottom of the ocean and a fourth of the country is actually below sea level! It’s not seldom called Holland, something that has become commonly accepted even though “Holland” is a historical reference to the two provinces Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland, equal to about 17% of the county’s total area and 40% of its population.
The Hague in Zuid-Holland hosts Netherlands’ government, parliament and the monarchs residence, but at Prima Holidays we have chosen to focus on Amsterdam – the official capital located in Noord-Holland with 800,000 inhabitants, 700,000 bi-cycles, 100 kilometers of channels, 1,600 bridges, 90 islands, 50 museums, 1,550 “monumental buildings” and 190 coffee shops. A hard-to-beat combination!
It’s said that the Netherlands has a tempered, humid coastal climate, meaning that the winters are quite mild and the summers are not too warm, much like in the southern parts of the UK – in other words, the perfect vacation destination all year round.
