The Netherlands

Amsterdam_canal_trees The Netherlands, is one of the most densely populated countries on the world. Where ever you go, you are never far away from civilization. Cities can be crowded, especially in the Randstad area and much of the country is flat and at or below sea level, much of its countryside is dominated by highly industrialised farming, the Netherlands is a net exporter of food. Though there are some beautiful spots all over this country, expecting a countryside full of picturesque villages, tulips and windmills is not a good idea. The Netherlands geography is dominated by water features,this country is criss-crossed with canals and dikes.
