From August 7, 2008, to July 5, 2009, the Netherlands, home to 16.5 million people, thrived under the reign of Queen Beatrix. Known for its liberalism and vibrant culture, this enchanting country features iconic symbols such as windmills, tulips, clogs, and delicious cheese. Stretching over 41,526 km², the Netherlands is roughly 240 times smaller than Canada, making it easily navigable, especially by bike. With more than two bicycles per person, it truly is a cyclist's paradise, bordered by Germany and Belgium, and boasts Dutch and Frisian as its official languages.
