Holland : General information
The Netherlands, also known as Holland, is a small monarchy in Northwest Europe bordered by the North Sea, Belgium and Germany. The people, language and culture of the Netherlands are referred to as "Dutch". About half the country's area is below sea level, and reclamation of land from the sea through dikes has continued through recent times.
Renowned for much more than windmills, tulips, canals, bikes and dikes, Holland is an easy country to travel as the locals are friendly and speak excellent English. The flat landscape and the size of the Netherlands, makes bicycles the best way to explore the country. The public transport system is also convenient and easy to use. A very nice time to visit is in spring when the flowers are in bloom - the tulips come out in May or in summer when the country is abuzz with festivals and cultural activity.
The golden age in the history of the Netherlands was in the 17 th century when it dominated the world both economically and culturally. The Dutch East India Company established trading links with the East and West Indies and added many territories to the vast Dutch empire bringing in an abundance of merchandise and cultural influences. The glorious legacy of this era is the artworks of the Dutch Masters - Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Jan Vermeer which today hang from the walls of the country’s numerous museums and galleries.
In Holland, prostitution and the possesion of small quantites of soft drugs is legally permitted, and marijuana and soft drugs are even sold at 'coffee shops'. This leniency helps to better control these problems and results in less crime and better living conditions for legal prostitutes. Hard drugs, drug trafficking and illegal prostitution, however, are not tolerated.
