1. FACTS ABOUT
THE NETHERLANDS
In the Netherlands
30%
Of the land is below
sea level
BASIC DATA
Capital: Amsterdam

The Netherlands and Holland
are not synonyms.
THE NETHERLANDS CONSISTS OF 12
PROVINCES, NORTH HOLLAND AND SOUTH
HOLLAND ARE 2 OF THESE 12 PROVINCES. BUT
BECAUSE THE IMPORTANT BIG CITIES:
AMSTERDAM, ROTTERDAM AND THE HAGUE
ARE ALL LOCATED IN THIS AREA, PEOPLE
OFTEN TALK ABOUT HOLLAND.
Almost 1 million Dutch people still
wear wooden shoes every day. These
are often not long walks, but short
walks around the house. When you
put on your clogs for 10 seconds to
take out the trash, you are already 1
in a million. The clog is still popular
in the garden, on the camping site
and of course on the farm. A clog is
waterproof which makes it ideal in
the wet Dutch meadows. A clog is
sturdy and suitable as a safety shoe
WOODEN SHOE COUNTRY
The Netherlands is also seen as the
flower garden of the world. The
Dutch tulips are the best known.
Tulips still play a major role in
today's Netherlands. The
Netherlands is the largest flower
exporter in the world, and in 2019 1.9
million people attended the annual
tulip spectacle: the Keukenhof.
TULIP COUNTRY
There are about 1100 windmills in
the Netherlands. About a hundred
years ago, more than 10,000 mills
were still in full operation. They
sawed wood, ground grain, made
paper, and extracted oil from seeds.
Polder mills pumped the water from
the lower polders and kept our feet
dry.
WINDMILL COUNTRY
Contrary to popular belief, it is still
illegal to use or sell soft drugs.
However, this law is tolerated, and
therefore not enforced. When you
walk down the street with a joint in
public, you will at most be on a
warning, but technically the agent
can also fine you. It is illegal to use
or carry cannabis.
