Fast Facts

Amsterdam has 165 canals. If you stand in the right spot on the Bridge of 15 Bridges, between Reguliersgracht and Herengracht, you can view 15 distant arches.

Approximately a third of the country lies below sea level.  A sophisticated system of dikes and pumps protects the coast. 

The official name of the country is the Kingdom of the Netherlands, ruled by King Willem-Alexander. When people refer to Holland, they often think it is the name of the entire country; when, in fact, it is just the name of two of the Netherland’s provinces, Noord-Holland (north) and Zuid-Holland (south).

The Eleven Cities Journey is a skating marathon through the countryside of Friesland in the Netherlands, held each year in January.
