The Netherlands is renowned for being unremittingly flat, with traditional images of canals, windmills and tulips complementing its new face as a modern European nation, so impressively demonstrated when The Netherlands co-hosted Euro 2000 with Belgium.

It is easy to imagine The Netherlands as just Amsterdam, as the nation's capital city is one of the most visually stunning in the world. There you can delve through centuries of history aboard a canal boat or explore the array of excellent museums.

AMSTERDAM OVERVIEW:

There is an incomparable romance about Amsterdam and its canals at night and a depth of cultural heritage in its great art museums; but there are also prostitutes displaying their wares opposite the city's oldest church. Amsterdam's museums are filled with some of the best art in the western world. There are the home-grown Old Masters and Van Gogh, as well as a wealth of contemporary art. Long an inspiration for generations of artists, the attractive canals and gabled houses are a popular subject for today's painters.
Amsterdam is a gem of a city. Small and densely packed with fine buildings, many dating from the 17th century or earlier, it is easily explored on foot or by bike. The city has a bit of a split personality: It's a gracious, formal cultural center, and it's the most off beat metropolis in the world.
