The country’s formal name is Kingdom of the Netherlands, but it is also referred to as Holland or the Netherlands. Netherlands means ‘low countries’. Much of the land is at or below sea level. The lowest altitude is 6.76 metres below sea level.

Capital city: Amsterdam Amsterdam, one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe, is known for its tolerance and diversity. It has all the advantages of a big city: culture, nightlife, international restaurants, good transport - but is quiet, and largely thanks to its extensive canals, has little road traffic. In
