Orange Masterpiece

Holland, or the Netherlands is one of the most urbanized – and densely populated – nations on earth, with a huge range of places to visit packed into a relatively small area. This is a country of renowned masterpieces of art, canal towns, fields of tulips and windmills. Despite the country’s diminutive dimensions, each town is often a profoundly separate place with its own distinct identity – indeed there’s perhaps nowhere else in the world where you can hear so many different accents, even dialects, in such a small area. In spring and summer the bulbfields provide bold splashes of colour, and in the west and north the long coastline with its sandy beaches can be reached through lush countryside, past sweeping watery vistas. And the best part is, you don't have to travel far to find a lot.
