Netherlands Information
The Netherlands (also commonly
called Holland in English, in reference
to the two provinces of that name,
in Dutch Noord-Holland (North-Holland)
and Zuid-Holland (South-Holland))
is a Benelux country in Western Europe,
facing onto the North Sea and the
United Kingdom and bordered on land
by Germany and Belgium. The people,
language, and culture of the Netherlands
are referred to as "Dutch".
The Netherlands has many cities and
towns of interest to travelers. Below
is a list of the most notable.
-
Amsterdam -
Capital city of the Netherlands
with impressive architecture, lovely
canals that criss-cross the city
and great shopping. There is something
for every traveler's taste here,
whether you prefer culture and history,
serious partying, or just the relaxing
charm of an old European city.
-
Alkmaar -
This city, north of Amsterdam in
the so calles 'West-Frisian region',
preserves the 17th-century pattern
of canals and narrow streets, and
has many historic buildings. Inland
is a historic agricultural landscape,
with 17th century polders: one (De
Beemster) is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
-
Delft - Historic
city between The Hague and Rotterdam.
It's a beautiful, unspoiled town
with traditional architecture, canals,
bikes, and the world famous blue
and white ceramics.
-
Groningen -
Capital of the province of Groningen.
One of the older cities in the North
of the Netherlands: Groningen was
founded around 1100 and has a rich
history, which can clearly be told
from the old medieval buildings
in the downtown area. Groningen
won the award of 'best city center'
in the category of 'large cities'
for 2006.
-
Haarlem -
Historic city and capital of the
province of North-Holland. Haarlem
is the center of a flower-growing
district and the export point for
flower bulbs. The famous Keukenhof
gardens is nearby.
-
The Hague/'s-Gravenhage
(Den Haag) - Seat of the Dutch
government, place of residence of
the Queen, Juridical Capital of
the World due to the seat of the
International Court of Justice,
International Criminal Court, Peace
Palace and some other International
Institutions. Also capital of the
province of South-Holland and the
third largest city of the country.
The Hague offers great architecture,
some of it picturesque, such as
the medieval government complex
of the Binnenhof, some grand and
stately, like the mansions on Lange
Voorhout. The museums in the city
rank among the best in the country.
-
Leiden -
Known for the oldest university
in the country, the birthplace of
Rembrandt and for it's beautiful,
old city center which is the second
biggest after Amsterdam and a plethora
of pubs.
-
Maastricht -
Historic city in the very south
of the country and capital of the
province of Limburg. Great shopping
areas and many pubs in the city
centre. Said to be one of the most
beautiful cities in the Netherlands.
Maastricht, however, is quite different
in style and architecture than traditional
Dutch cities. Most 'Burgundic' city,
founded by the Romains and second
eldest city of the country. Nowadays
it hosts a large amount of European
and international institutions.
-
Nijmegen -
Oldest city of the Netherlands (dates
back to Roman times; said to be
founded in the year 6 after Christ),
known internationally for its Four
Day Marches, it's left-wing politics,
and it's large student population.
-
Rotterdam
- The city was known for having
the world's largest harbor, but
lost the title in 2004 to Shanghai.
Still it is the countries second
largest city. It may feel difficult
to get in touch with the heart of
Rotterdam; its natural center was
bombed away during WW2, forcing
the city to renew itself completely.
The result is a lot of modern architecture.
-
Utrecht -
Capital of the province of Utrecht.
Utrecht is a central Dutch city
with a long history. With 290,000
inhabitants it's the fourth largest
city in the Netherlands. The history
of the city goes back to 47 AD when
the Roman emperor Claudius ordered
his general Corbulo to build a defense
line along the river Rhine whitch
was the northern most border of
the empire
