The Netherlands is a land of unspoiled sandy beaches, peaceful canals, windmills and most of the country relatively untouched by tourism. Amsterdam on the other hand is overwhelmed with tourists who come to hangout in this cosmopolitan city. The terrain of flat land is perfect for biking and walking, which are part of the national image of the Netherlands.
Known as being largely flat (much of the country lies below sea level, and another great swathe is made up of ‘polder', or land reclaimed from the sea), The Netherlands is an ideal destination for those who enjoy pursuits like cycling or walking without over-exerting themselves. But it is a cultured land as well, as the seemingly endless list of great Dutch artists testifies.
