Did you know there’s a European country with over 1,000 windmills in its countryside and another 1,200 bridges in its capital city?

This country is the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is a country in Western Europe that is known for its beautiful tulips, its vast system of canals, its popular use of bicycles, its happy people, and its renowned capital of Amsterdam. The Netherlands is one of the most pleasant countries to visit in all of Western Europe, largely due to its laid back atmosphere and tranquil beauty.

While many people see Amsterdam as a haven for drugs and prostitutes due to the infamous Red Light District, Amsterdam has a lot more to offer visitors than just that. From the Anne Frank Museum to the gorgeous canals, Amsterdam can be a family friendly destination, too. Other popular spots in the Netherlands include the Hague, Utrecht, Maastricht, and Leiden.
