The main cities in Holland are Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. Amsterdam is

formally the capital of the Netherlands and its largest city. The port of Rotterdam is the

largest and most important port in Europe. The Hague is the seat of the executive and

legislative branches of the Netherlands and home to the International Court of Justice.

For example, we are going to talk about Amsterdam. It is a big city where you can find

different things.

Dam Square is the center and heart of the city of Amsterdam. It has witnessed many

historical events, for example in 1808 was the reception area for Napoleon and his

troops.

Other interesting place is Leidseplein Square. It is one of the most popular places in

the city of Amsterdam for those who want to party. The area has many restaurants,

clubs, cafes, cinemas and theaters.

On the other hand, for the large number of channels, the city is known as the "Venice of

the North". If you want to be relaxed, you can travel on a boat in these channels.

Other known neighborhood is the Red light district. Amsterdam is a city known for its

liberal attitude, and in this place you can see easily this situation.



                                                        



Finally, the Anne Frank House is one of the more significant buildings in the

Netherlands. There lived in hiding Anne Frank and her family in Nazi invasion during

World War II.

Therefore Holland is a Nordic country known for its liberal politics but go sightseeing

in the Netherlands also will allow you to learn more about this small Nordic paradise

where all people are friendly and careful with their environment.

    1.- Holland is definitely different from Spain. The culture, the language, the people, etc... .
    2.- Holland might be a liberal country because there are lots of prostitutes in Amsterdam and some drugs, that are illegal in Spain, are legal there.

    4) I know Rotterdam , I heard that it has a lot of beautiful historical places.
    5) Huge, with a lot of stairs, floors, and a lot of secret rooms.
