In the evening, the many bars and restaurants lining the canals create a warm and lively atmosphere.
Rotterdam and The Hague
Rotterdam, rebuilt after World War II, impresses with its bold, modern architecture. Its port is the largest in Europe, vital to the country's economy, and the city attracts art and design lovers with its contemporary museums and innovative neighborhoods. The Hague, seat of government and the International Court of Justice, combines beaches, museums, and international institutions. Its city center is home to renowned museums such as the Mauritshuis, which exhibits works by Vermeer and Rembrandt, and offers easy access to the North Sea, popular for its vast beaches and seaside resorts.
Landscapes and nature
Beyond the cities, the Netherlands also offers magnificent natural landscapes. The Hoge Veluwe National Park is a protected area where forests, dunes, heathland, and plains mingle, ideal for hiking or cycling. The polders, land reclaimed from the sea through a system of locks and dikes, create a unique landscape that is a testament to Dutch expertise in hydraulic engineering. In season, tulip fields color the countryside with vibrant hues, attracting visitors from all over the world.
