Netherlands

The Netherlands is known for its flat landscape of canals, tulip fields, windmills, and cycling routes. Amsterdam, the capital, is home to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the house where Jewish diarist Anne Frank hid during WWII. From the Golden Age canal houses of Delft to the modern architecture of Rotterdam, its cities offer a rich artistic and architectural heritage. The country's extensive system of water management, with its dikes and dams, showcases its long struggle and innovation with water.
