The train

by sim1

The train is a very good way of transportation to the major cities in the Netherlands. The big advantage is that you arrive in the center of a city, without worrying about finding a parking spot for the car and of course, no traffic jams!!! Do count on delays though, and over crowded trains during rush hour.In my opinion the train is not very cheap here, but an easy way to travel to the center of a major city.

KLM

by a5floor

The main airline of the Netherlands is KLM. KLM is short for 'Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij'. Aka Royal Airline Company. Some facts about KLM:KLM was founded in 1919. In 1971 the headquarter of KLM was Amstelveen (south of Amsterdam).In 1989 KLM got 20% interest of the airline Northwest Airlines (USA). In 1991 KLM introduced KLM cityhopper.In 2004 the group Air France-KLM was founded. In 2008 KLM got 100% owner of Martinair (the Netherlands). In 2009 Air France-KLM got 25% interest of the airline Alitalia (Italy).The planes are blue and white. Not to miss though.

Schiphol Airport

by Imaniac

Schiphol is the biggest airport in The Netherlands and in the top 5 of biggest airports in Europe. From here you can virtually go anywhere in the world. It is situated in the hearth of The Netherlands, close to Amsterdam. The airport itself is a small city with many shops and restaurants and where the fun never has to end.

Bicycles, period!

by ant1606

Most everybody can easily associate the Netherlands with bicycles and there must be a reason if a typical model is named "Holland". Statistics say that bicycles outnumber the 16 millions population of the country and this is not difficult to believe. They are everywhere. Orderly parked, randomly stacked, wrecked in impossible places or cannibalized to the bare bone. The dedicated parking near Central Station in Amsterdam holds 2,500 pieces alone.New, mint condition pieces are hardly seen and theft is very common in large cities. Typical frame color is black and I have a hard time to understand how can everybody find their ride in vast masses, especially at night without even mentioning a possible buzz factor. At times there are so many bikes one against the other resulting in an unconceivable access problem to your own. If they weren't individually locked I'd rather think of a rational...
