Located in northwestern Europe, the Netherlands is known for its flat landscape crisscrossed by canals, tulip fields, windmills, and cycle paths. The capital Amsterdam is home to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Anne Frank House. It was in this hiding place that the Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Magnificent townhouses on the canals and numerous works by artists such as Rembrandt and Vermeer bear witness to the city's "Golden Age" in the 17th century. ― Google
