The Dutch are often considered some of the happiest people in the world, and when you travel to Netherlands, you'll be able sample their unique lifestyle and see what makes this beautiful country so enjoyable.
Amsterdam is no doubt the most popular destination and the travel hub for visitors coming in by plane or train from other destinations. Life in Amsterdam is really more about good food, relaxing cafes, and a canal side attitude that is infectious. While you're here, you'll have to have a beer from famous local brewer Heineken, and take a tour on one of the canal boats - the view is different than from up on the streets. And speaking of streets, the best way to get around this hectic town is by bike - it's the fastest and cheapest way to get around, just be sure to look both ways at any intersection.
Art is another highlight of travel to Netherlands - public art makes an appearance often, and the country has a high concentration of world class museums, both in Amsterdam and other cities.
As a small country, it is very easy to get out into the Dutch countryside, which is markedly different than "big" city life. You can even bike into the countryside, riding on top of dikes or via the country's amazingly well organized biking path system. Trains take you elsewhere, to villages where locals still wear wooden shoes, thousands of windmills still help with water management, and field after field are on fire with a rainbow of colors.
The Hague is home to the country's Parliament, even though Amsterdam is the capital. The Hague is home to a miniature version of the country, worth seeing for its extreme details, and in The Hague you can also visit one of the popular beaches in the country. Rotterdam is another popular place to visit, home to Europe's busiest port and some beautiful bridges.
No matter how you decide to organize your travel to Netherlands, you'll be spell bound by the Dutch lifestyle and will no doubt enjoy yourself.
