Netherlands

Country overview

Because of the geographical location of the majority of Dutch cities (that is underneath sea level), The Netherlands fight continiously with our best friend - the ocean! This hate love relationship developed itself into a true water culture, which clearly is displayed in the architectural structures of most of the Dutch cities.

The mix of mills, tulips, traditional wooden shoes and tolerant political agendas concerning prostitution and drugs make the Netherlands an unique country. Its open minded spirit, supported by its external commercial windows, will make any person feel at home in this small but culturally diverse country.
