Netherlands
Are you ready to visit a country where seeing hundreds of bicycles locked up in rows is more common than seeing a parking lot for cars? The Netherlands is a great place to explore!
Do as the Dutch do and start your trip to the Netherlands with a bicycle ride around Amsterdam, a city of canals, and rich in history, lots of beer and pancakes! In the rest of this small country, you can look up at windmills, be awed by cubic houses in architectural Rotterdam and meet friendly locals who want you to feel welcome.
