The Netherlands is a small, low-lying country in northwestern Europe known for its flat landscape, windmills, tulip fields, and villages. Its capital and largest city is Amsterdam, which is known for its architecture, canals, museums, and liberal culture. The Netherlands has a constitutional monarchy government with the King as head of state. Culturally, there is a distinction between the urban Randstad region including Amsterdam, and the more rural northern and southern regions, historically divided along Protestant and Catholic lines.

The Dutch distinguish between two major cultural subdivisions in
their nation. The most important distinction is between the Randstad
(Rim City) and non-Randstad cultures. Randstad culture is distinctly
urban, located in the provinces of North Holland, South Holland, and
Utrecht. The non-Randstad culture corresponds to the historical
divide between the predominantly Protestant north and the Catholic
south, separated by the Rhine River

11. When visiting Copenhagen, many visitors make a beeline for
this iconic recreation space. Dating from 1843, Tivoli is the
inspiration behind the world-famous Disney theme parks,
and here, you'll find a huge range of attractions including a
roller coaster, roundabouts, puppet theaters, restaurants,
cafés, gardens, food pavilions, and even a Moorish-styled
concert hall.

12.  The star of countless images and postcards of the city,
Nyhavn (New Harbor) is a great place to stroll or grab a
slice of Copenhagen café culture. Located to the rear
of Amalienborg Palace, this was once a disreputable
stretch of dockland but has been given a new lease of life
with its multi-colored houses, restaurants, and tall ships
(some of which are museums) dotting the quayside

13.  A ten-minute stroll from Tivoli Gardens leads to the
National Museum (Nationalmuseet), which delves into
Danish history and culture. The museum displays an
impressive collection of Danish artifacts, including a
2,000-year-old sun chariot, Danish porcelain and silver,
and Romanesque and Gothic church trimmings

14. Tourism After The Second World
War
 Changes in technology
 Product development
 Social or economic factors
 After the second world war, tourism has grown in scale, distribution and origins of
tourists. According to Geofact 2001, there were 25 million international tourists in
1950 and according to WHO, there were 160 million tourists in 1970.

15.  Tourism in Denmark is held mainly by tourists from nearby countries,
mainly due to tourists from Germany, Sweden, Norway and the
Netherlands. For 2007, Denmark, with 4.7 million tourists, was 43rd in
the World Tourism Organization's ranking. Recently, however,
statistics show that the number of people staying in hotels for the
night is gradually decreasing.
There are many sandy beaches in Denmark that attract mainly German tourists.
Swedish and Norwegian tourists are attracted by lively Copenhagen. In addition,
young Scandinavians come to Denmark for affordable and cheap beer, wine and
other alcoholic beverages.

16.  While the flow of tourists to Copenhagen is growing year by
year, in other parts of the kingdom there is an influx of visitors
from abroad. According to the Confederation of Danish
manufacturers, the province simply has nothing to offer tourists.
