The Netherlands is a land of contrasts. It is a country of windmills and canals, of tulips and cheese, of bicycles and wooden shoes. But it is also a country of great thinkers and artists, of scientists and explorers. The Dutch have a long and rich history, and their culture is a unique blend of influences from all over the world.
