The Netherlands is a small country that is often called Holland. A country consisting of the main territory in Western Europe and the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba in the Caribbean Sea (also called the Caribbean Netherlands). In Western Europe, the territory is washed by the North Sea and borders Germany and Belgium. Together with the islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, which have a special status (namely, a self-governing state entity), the Netherlands is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Relations between members of the kingdom are governed by the Charter of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, adopted in 1954.
Acquaintance with the country usually begins with the capital of the Netherlands - Amsterdam. The city is one of the largest historical centers of Europe, which has preserved cultural traditions. There are more than 100 canals here, forming about 90 islands connected to each other bridges In Amsterdam, there are quite a lot of houses on the water, this is due to the fact that it allows residents of barges and boats not to pay land ownership tax.
