Netherlands

The Dutch aren't bogged in their clichÃ©s, even though bikes, dykes, windmills and blazing flower fields are pretty much the norm outside the major cities. Do as the locals do - grab a bike and explore. It's a very big small country, and full of salutary surprises.

Netherlands Transport

Coming and Going

The Netherlands' main international airport is Schiphol, but Eurolines buses and international trains are also popular methods for reaching the country. Highway connections to the surrounding parts of Europe are extensive, and ferries link the UK with a handful of ports in the Netherlands.

Getting About

The horizontal nature of the countryside makes the humble bicycle the ideal device for getting around, though there are decent train and bus networks to transport those with pedal-weary feet. You can also drive or motorcycle around, but only if you have an impeccable sense of direction and a knack for finding parking spaces.
