The Netherlands is a small country, with a big history. Most of the time it is rainy here, but in summer you can expect some lovely days. The country is known for cheese, clogs and windmills, but there is so much more than that. You can take wonderful city walks, through old neighbourhoods where there is much to see and do. Amsterdam is the capital and one of the most visited destinations. The Dutch are fuss-free people, often seen as blunt or direct, but nothing nasty is meant by that. Furthermore, you will find that they are very hospitable people, they speak very good English and because the country is so small, you can visit all major cities in a short time. So plenty to do!
