Netherlands

For the love of freedom, individualism, and stroopwafels.

Netherlands is a country located in northwestern Europe. It is bordered by the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south, and Germany to the east. Netherlands is often referred to by the name Holland. This is not strictly correct as North and South Holland are only two of the twelve provinces which make up the Netherlands. However, the name Holland is commonly used when referring to the Netherlands as a whole.

The Netherlands is a very diverse and tolerant country. It is home to people from all over the world, and has a long history of tolerance and social cohesion. The Dutch are known for their love of freedom and individualism.

The Netherlands is a popular tourist destination for its many beautiful and historic cities, its stunning countryside, and its lively culture. Amsterdam is the most popular tourist destination, with its canals, museums, and nightlife. Other popular destinations include Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague.

The Dutch cuisine offers popular dishes such as stamppot (a mashed potato dish), erwtensoep (a thick pea soup), and stroopwafels (syrup waffles).

This is a typical Amsterdam sight that never bores. Especially in summer when the trees cover the canals making it feel cosy and village-like. Just walk the streets and enjoy the great views. | Amsterdam in Netherlands

It's been very cloudy today, but luckily the sky tends to color very nicely at this time of day. Enjoy! The Binnenhof (Dutch, literally "inner court"), is a complex of buildings in The Hague. It has been the location of meetings of the Staten-Generaal, the Dutch parliament, since 1446, and has been the center of Dutch politics for many centuries.

I was hanging around downtown of my city to see if I could take some street-shots but I hadn’t been to succesfull that afternoon. Just as I was about to give up, it started to rain which I decided to wait out. I had been on this square during the rain before and I knew that if it rained hard enough, I could get some nice reflections. Luckily for me, the sun broke through a little bit right after as well, setting the mood just right for some vintage city vibes. | Utrecht in Netherlands
