Netherlands

In the heart of Europe, The Netherlands is where innovation meets tradition. Teeming with beauty and charm, the cobbled cities play host to romantic candlelit cafés and networks of flower-lined canals, while the scenic landscapes are dotted with centuries-old windmills that reside in vibrant tulip fields. There a very few cities that can lay claim to as many remarkable museums as Amsterdam; its Museum District houses works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and modern art at the Stedelijk, making it a must-visit destination for art and architecture aficionados.

All this gives a clue of what the Netherlands are about. Its people are dynamic, innovative and liberal. Evidence of this is everywhere, from their laid-back attitude to drugs and sexuality, to their visionary architecture, and phenomenal nightlife. This is a truly beautiful country for getting lost with your loved one in a storybook of canals, fields and centuries-old streets.
