HIGHLIGHTS
In a country where the national health care is responsible for sex-change surgery and where anyone can smoke a joint, even with their parents, perhaps surprise to observe the attitudes of people having a strong sense of duty and compliance. Netherlands has managed his organization with libertarian leanings among the most regulated in the world, all within a society that manages to be radical and sensible without being frivolous or boring. Dutch are not slaves of their clichés, even though bikes, dykes, windmills and fields of colorful flowers continue to draw the landscape outside the big cities.
Holland has an internal movements extremely smooth, and people are friendly and speaks excellent English. However, cities are still surrounded by canals and the ancient walls of the castles, the unbroken flat landscape that inspired painters of the national past continues to spread to the horizon and the maintenance of dams continues to be the main national worry .

NETHERLADS INFO TRAVEL
WEATHER
During the summer a huge amount of tourists flock to Holland, but the summer is definitely the best year for sitting along the canals while enjoying a drink and you smoke a cigarette. Spring is a good time to visit because the bulbs are in bloom: daffodils bloom in April, the tulips in May. If you find yourself at the Amsterdam Koninginnedag (April 30), do not miss out. Groped to avoid the typical Dutch drizzle is fairly useless, since it rains in the country fairly regularly throughout the year. The winter can be very cold, but in return the museums are quiet and if there is a freeze, canals and fields become excellent rinks.
EVENTS
If on January is quite cold and ice conditions are permissive, is held the Elfstedentocht (travel of eleven cities), a grueling marathon which paralyzed the nation and takes place in the countryside of Friesland. The last edition was held in 1997, but may take decades before the entire area freezes again. Carnival in February is a good excuse to have fun wearing a original costume, especially in the south of Holland, a Catholic majority. Koninginnedag (Queen's Day), mostly celebrated in Amsterdam, falls on April 30. The festive city center is transformed into a huge market a bit 'out of the norm, where anyone can sell anything they want. The Holland Festival in June, takes place mainly in Amsterdam and The Hague. Often, the festival presents itself as something intellectual and pretentious, but there are many side events. The Northmen Sea Jazz Festival in July, is the biggest party the world dedicated to jazz.
Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas), with a long white beard, is the saint patron of children who arrives 'from Spain' in mid-November. It is accompanied by a band of mischievous helpers called Zwarte Pieten ('black stones', but nowadays you can find many 'stone' blue and green). Wisely, Dutch have two days of Christmas (December 26 and 25). Fireworks may be sold only in days before New Year's Eve: on December 31st of each year there are hundreds of accidents that accompany drinking and loud celebration.
THE TRIP

The first, passes from Den Haag, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels and Luxembourg. The second, high-speed Thalys train, connects Amsterdam to Antwerp, Brussels and Paris.

LOCAL TRANSPORT
In Holland, the most appropriate transport is the bicycle. Almost all sites are connected by bike paths and the terrain is wonderfully flat. You can rent a bike at railway stations or, in larger cities, with the appropriate agencies. Should you be tempted to purchase a bicycle at bargain prices in the street, remember that it was probably just stolen and therefore can be risky.
Dutch trains are efficient, fast and comfortable, or at least it usually is. Connections between various Dutch cities are frequent, usually you get to 5 or 6 trains per hour, but the service is rather expensive. You can carry your bike on trains.
Buses are more suitable for short distances (to reach more distant destinations is better to take the train). Buses, however, are indispensable in the north and east of Holland.
Driving in Holland is not pleasant when you are away from major roads: the roads are narrow and parking places are few and often very expensive. A car with foreign plates is an invitation for burglars, especially in Amsterdam. If you want to rent a vehicle, you can search in a local telephone directory under the name 'autoverhuur'.
