Where to go? Destinations Netherlands

Welcome to the Netherlands, the kingdom of tulips and windmills ...

The flat country is a territory crossed by canals, rivers and dikes. Here, land and water have always combined to find their natural balance. The Netherlands, a land of welcome par excellence, has a strange air of a small village with global dimensions and cosmopolitan character. Beyond the sparkling cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the kingdom contains other treasures such as the tulip farms in the Lisse region, the Kinderdijk mills, the Hoge Veluwe national park or the Texel island. A haven of peace that provides a simple and authentic happiness ...
