The Place

Many who visit the Netherlands travel to see Amsterdam's famous red-light district but they may be surprised to discover the many other activities it offers. Visit Hoge Veluwe National Park and check out stunning works of Holland's own Vincent Van Gogh, bike through the Randstad region to see the multicolored bulb fields, and when the canals freeze over you can lace up your skates and go for a glide. Home of the Dutch, this densely populated land below sea level is a fabulous place to vacation.
