Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de Holland
The Netherlands, often called Holland, is a northwest European nation known for its flat landscape crisscrossed by canals, iconic windmills, colorful tulip fields, and vibrant arts culture. It is a densely populated country, famous for its open-mindedness, innovation in water management, and love of bicycles.
Seeing Amsterdam from the water is an essential experience. A boat tour of its 17th-century canal belt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a unique perspective on the elegant merchants' houses, drawbridges and city life. It is the best way to understand why it is known as the 'Venice of the North'.
If you visit in spring, the Keukenhof Flower Park is a must-see. Known as the 'Garden of Europe', it is a spectacular display of millions of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other bulbous flowers, arranged in magnificent designs. It is an explosion of color and aroma that celebrates the country's most iconic flower.
Rent a bike and pedal through the polder landscapes to feel like a real Dutchman. Places like Kinderdijk (UNESCO Heritage) or Zaanse Schans offer the perfect picture, with a concentration of historic windmills that were used to drain water. It is the most authentic way to connect with the history and nature of the country.
Attend the spectacle of a traditional cheese market in cities like Alkmaar or Gouda. You'll see 'kaasdragers' (cheese carriers), dressed in traditional costumes, transport the huge wheels of cheese in a ceremony that has been going on for centuries. It is a colorful and folkloric experience that culminates with the tasting of delicious cheeses.
Immerse yourself in the Dutch Golden Age at Amsterdam's world-class museums. Marvel at Rembrandt's 'The Night Watch' at the Rijksmuseum, explore the evolution of Vincent van Gogh's work in his own museum, and discover the masterpieces of Vermeer and other artists who defined a golden age of art.
Bombed during World War II, Rotterdam has reinvented itself as a showcase for modern architecture and innovation. Explore its bold designs, such as the famous Cube Houses, the spectacular covered market (Markthal) and the elegant Erasmus Bridge. It is a city that looks decisively towards the future.

Ver guía completaThe train network (NS) is extremely efficient and connects the entire country. To use trains, trams, subways and buses, it is useful to purchase an anonymous 'OV-chipkaart', a rechargeable card used for check-in and check-out on each journey.
Renting a bike is highly recommended, but remember that local cyclists go fast and expect you to know the rules. Respect bike lanes (fietspad), use hand signals to turn and yield when necessary. Be careful with trams in cities.
The official language is Dutch. However, the vast majority of the population, especially in cities and among young people, speaks excellent English, so communication is very easy.
