The Netherlands is a country whose enchanting beauty always enthralls visitors. It is country of tulips, windmills and bicycles that stretches out over a predominantly flat landscape of reclaimed land. The metropolitan areas in the Netherlands are buzzed with the activity of seasonal festivals, cultural activities, vibrant art scenes and excellent pubs and restaurants.
You can find the real Dutch culture in the Netherlands. During the 1600s the Netherlands dominated the world both economically and culturally. The Dutch East India Company established trading links with the East and West Indies bringing back an abundance of merchandise and cultural influences.
Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands, which has full array of tourist attractions including parks, zoos, natural sights, monuments, other lovely things to do.
Since the downfall of Napoleon's empire in 1814, the Netherlands has taken a neutral stance throughout most of the world's conflicts, including the First World War in which it took no part. In spite of this independent stance it still suffered severely in World War II during the Nazi invasion of 1940. Its neutral political position, combined with its tradition of liberalism and tolerance has made the Netherlands the logical choice for the establishment of the International Court of Justice, which is situated in The Hague .
