Useful Information about travelling in Netherlands

The Netherlands is home to many interesting attractions. From its oldest cities to its newest, the Netherlands has something to interest everyone. In this article we'll highlight some of the top places to visit in the country. We'll also touch on the city of Rotterdam and the Amsterdam Dungeon.

Amsterdam is the country's largest city

Amsterdam was founded as a fishing village during the late 12th century. Two Frisian fishermen and their dog settled on the Amstel River, which was dammed. The name was subsequently changed to Amsterdam, and the city was founded on October 27, 1275. It was later granted city rights and became a thriving trading center. It was also made a pilgrimage site in 1345 due to an alleged Eucharistic miracle. The Protestant faith was later introduced in the city, and it became a hub of activity for the new faith.

Rotterdam is its most modern city

Rotterdam is a harbor city in the Zuid-Holland region. It has about 630,383 people and has a modern, futuristic appearance. Its buildings have unique designs and architectural styles that make it stand out amongst other Dutch cities. The city's reconstruction after the second world war resulted in a modern, futuristic cityscape. Though some people may not like the city's style, it's certainly worth a visit.

Amsterdam Dungeon

The Amsterdam Dungeon is a unique place where visitors can experience the dark side of Dutch history. With 11 different shows based on real historical events, this dungeon claims to provide a unique interactive melodramatic experience. The attractions include the Torture Chamber, Great Plague, and Council of Blood.
