Travelguide Netherlands (Europe)
|
The Netherlands border on Germany, Belgium, and the North Sea. Together with Belgium and Luxembourg, they form the so-called Benelux nations.
The highest point of the country is the Vaalserberg, 322 m above the level of Amsterdam. It is in the south-east and borders on Germany and Belgium. About 20% of the country is covered with water, mainly the IJsselmeer (Ijssel lake). The most important rivers in the Netherlands are the Rhine, the Waal and the Maas.
In the Netherlands the climate is temperate and maritime with cool summers and mild winters, being the result of the main wind direction from the south-west.
The most varying nature can be enjoyed in the Netherlands, such as the Biesbosch, a river and swamp landscape, the national parks of De Hoge Veluwe and Veluwezoon in the Veluwe, the nature reserve on Texel, the Reeuwijkse Plassen on the Gouda and the national park De Meinweg on Roermond in the province of Limburg.
Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands. It is multicultural and very open and is characterised by its many canals (Grachten). The Noordzeekanal connects Amsterdam with the sea and with its dam protects the city from flooding. Amsterdam has two Universities, a protestant university (Vrije Universiteit) and the city university (Universiteit van Amsterdam) without confessional ties. Both universities also have university hospitals. Just outside the city is the international airport Schiphol.
Places of interest in Amsterdam include the Koninklijk Paleis (royal palace), the Amsterdam Arena, the Madame Tussaud Scenerama (Wax figure cabinet), the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, the Rembrandthuis and the Van Gogh Museum as well as the square with the national Monument, De Walletjes (the red light area) and the Vondelpark by the Leidseplein.
Other cities of interest are Den Haag (seat of the government), Arnheim, Lelystad, Haarlem, Maastricht, Middelburg, Utrecht and Zwolle.
