A Short Guide to the Netherlands
When visitors look across the flat lands of Netherlands, they’ll see bicycles, tulips and windmills. Sophisticated urban centers and rural towns can be seen throughout the land along with castle walls, canals and dikes. The most populated region in Netherlands is the Randstad. The urban Randstand extends in a circle from Amsterdam and it encompasses the areas of Delft, Hague, Haarlem, Leiden, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The urban areas are always hopping with all kinds of activities including art scenes, cultural activities, festivals, pubs and restaurants.
The cultural legacy that touches the Dutch life is traced back in time during the 1600s. At the time, the Netherlands subjugated the globe culturally and frugally. The Dutch East India Company set up trade links to the East and West Indies, which helped to bring a large quantity of cultural influences along with commodities. When Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Jan Vermeer (the Dutch Masters) took hold in the country, the Golden Age attained its high point. Visitors can see any one of their paintings in the cities’ many galleries and museums.
Whenever visitors come to the Netherlands, they’ll end up traveling to its capital, Amsterdam. However, the parts outside the Randstad is usually unaffected by the tourism industry. The southern regions of the Netherlands have been altered by the shifting sand and heath moors, which is best encountered when visiting Hoge Veluwe National Park. Further south of this area is Maastricht, which lies between the Belgian and German borders.
