The Netherlands – more than just cheese and tulips
My CEO, Philip, is a Dutch-Filipino citizen. With the three years I’ve worked with him, I heard a lot about Enschede (his hometown) and Amsterdam (the capital city of the Netherlands) aside from the usual tasty cheese, windmills and renowned tulips or flower bulbs. With my curiosity piqued, I decided to do some more research about the Netherlands and found out that, although the country is not that big, it is well-known for a lot of exceptional museums such as the Stedelijk Museum and the Rembrandt House Museum. There’s also the Van Gogh Museum, which houses the largest collection of Van Gogh”s paintings and drawings in the world. Anne Frank House is also a popular tourist attraction. Oh, and let’s not forget Amsterdam’s famous red-light district*, de Wallen (window prostitution is legal here at specific places), and the coffee shops that sell cannabis (not completely legal but is tolerated when only about 5 grams are involved). Interested? Plan your vacation and reserve your accommodation at online travel services. Whether you are looking for a luxurious accommodation, a cheap hotel, or even a Schiphol hotel (Amsterdam airport hotel), I suggest you take a look at easyToBook.com.
