I think most people in the USA are just a bit confused about what county calls Amsterdam it’s capital city. Is it Holland or The Netherlands? And why are the citizens there call the Dutch? Three different names, one wonderful region. For the record, Holland represents two of the 12 provinces of The Netherlands. The city of Amsterdam draws travelers from throughout Europe as it’s central location makes a perfect base for easy, high speed train access to Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy to name a few. But before venturing off, have a look at the tourism sites of The Netherlands and enjoy this land of wooden shoes, tulips and windmills.
