About the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a nation of very independent-minded people who are often characterized by their international outlook, tolerance of others’ beliefs, and love of personal freedom. The Netherlands has an excellent public transportation system, from the seaside to tiny villages to the ultra-hip capital of Amsterdam; and people also ride bikes everywhere. Half of the country lies below sea level on land created by walling off the North Sea with dikes. The Dutch love to ice skate on the frozen canals in the winter.
