Netherlands Travel Guide
When you think of the Netherlands, you might think of windmills, bikes, and legalised marijuana. While you’ll certainly find plenty of each here, you’ll find so much more! The Netherlands is famously flat, making it an excellent destination for cycling, which is probably why the Netherlands is indeed the most bike friendly nation on earth. The country is dotted with windmills, tulip fields, and beautiful historical little towns and villages.
