Located in the Western Europe, on the North Sea coast, the Netherlands is a country of liberty and good social policy. No doubt, you've heard of the tulips grown there, as these have become a symbol of the country, which is often referred to as Holland. It's also the venue for many cultural events, festivals and great outdoor entertainment. The most preferred beverage in the Netherlands is beer, and Heineken, Amstel and Grolsh are the brands you should definitely taste during your visit. Both the biggest cities and the smallest settlements offer a lovely atmosphere and unique charm, simple culinary fare and a friendly welcome.
