The Netherlands is a tiny country, as flat as a local pannenkoek, a land of colourful tulip fields and canals, sophisticated cities and some of the most striking coastline in Northern Europe.

Be sure to venture beyond Amsterdam — as the country has much more to offer than flowers, windmills and wooden shoes that might come to mind. Wherever you roam, tradition and innovation intertwine: artistic masterpieces, centuries-old windmills, tulip fields and romantic candlelit cafés coexist with visionary architecture, exceptional technologie and cutting-edge design.
