close to the Dutch coastline, where the difference in temperature between summer and winter, as
well as between day and night is noticeably smaller than it is in the southeast of the country.

7. SIGHTS
The Netherlands is known everywhere as the land of windmills, canals, and tulips,
and today’s visitors will find these among its many tourist attractions. But along

with museums showcasing the country’s rich heritage of artists. So it’s easy to do
at least a little sightseeing the Dutch way: by bicycle.
