The eurozone is expected to remain the most popular destination for UK travellers this year, with almost 22 million people set to visit countries across the region.
The Netherlands has many cities, each with its own unique identity. Just ask the people who live there. People who know where to find the most interesting museums or the best café in town. People who can tell you where to find the lesser known shopping streets or a great place to go out on a Tuesday night.
The Netherlands manages to be radical, sensible and quaintly staid.
The Dutch aren't bogged in their clichés, even though bikes, dykes, windmills and blazing flower fields are pretty much the norm outside the major cities. Do as the locals do - grab a bike and explore. It's a very big small country, and full of salutary surprises.
One of the chief pleasures of the place is its lively contrast between pragmatic liberalism and the buttoned-up just-so primness of a culture founded on Calvinist principles. In Dutch society, ostentation is anathema and fuss of any kind is regarded as undignified.
