Netherlands
It is the lowest country in Europe.
The Netherlands can be translated to “the low lands,” so it’s safe to say that the country is one of the lowest in the world. Almost one third of the country is below sea level, and even 60 percent of the population lives 5 metres (16 feet) below sea level.
Known for a flat landscape of canals, tulip fields, windmills and cycling routes. Amsterdam, the capital, is home to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and the house where Jewish diarist Anne Frank hid during WWII. Canalside mansions and a trove of works from artists including Rembrandt and Vermeer remain from the city’s 17th-century “Golden Age.”
It is the world’s second-largest exporter of food and beer. Its top tourist attractions are:
Jordaan and Amsterdam’s Canals, Keukenhof in Lisse, Rijksmuseum, Historic Binnenhof in The Hague, Anne Frank House, Oude Haven, Van Gogh Museum, The Windmills in Kinderdijk, De Hoge Veluwe National Park, Cathedral Square, The Ijsselmeer, Delta Works Dikes, and many more.
