The Netherlands, in Northwestern Europe, is a low-lying marvel with Amsterdam’s canal-ringed capital, famed for tulips, windmills, and a cycling culture that threads through its dikes and polders. Known for cheese, trade, and Van Gogh’s masterpieces, its economy excels in logistics (Rotterdam’s port), tech, and agriculture, blending a progressive ethos with Golden Age roots. Its flat fields and vibrant cities hum with life. The Netherlands’ orderly charm shines bright.
