The Netherlands - Land of Tulips
With gorgeous canals, blooming tulips, amazing museums, and the city Amsterdam, The Netherlands has long been a centre of art and science in Europe. The country is a treat for all art lovers. There several art museums that house works of popular artists like Vincent van Gogh and many others. Moreover, the country also has a surprisingly relaxed culture and friendliest people. The Netherlands is relatively small in size, allowing tourists to see a lot in a sufficient amount of time. It takes at least 15 days for the Netherlands Visa to process, so you might want to start planning the trip now. Some of the things to do in the Netherlands include visiting the Anne Frank House, taking a stroll in Keukenhof (especially in April for the Tulips Festivals), watching the Windmills of Kinderdijk, exploring art at the Van Gogh Museum and more.
