The Netherlands has long been one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations, and for good reason.
The country is famous not only for its tulip fields and windmills, but also for its canals, cheeses, and cannabis.
Cities and towns dotting its absolutely gorgeous countryside offer a wide range of unique experiences, from museums and gardens to architecture and nightlife.
Situated in the northwest corner of Europe, it shares a coastline with the North Sea and borders only Belgium and Germany.
Since much of its land was once under the ocean and had to be reclaimed, it is extremely low-lying and flat.
However, behind an ingenious system of sea barriers can be found fertile fields and farms.
