Berkeley Guide to Europe:
The Netherlands
By Stephanie Schuck
Traditionally, travelers have come to the Netherlands in search of windmills and watery canals, looking for fields of tulips and residents shod in wooden shoes. Certainly tulips grow in abundance in some rural areas, and those windmills are still pumping water from the marshy land, but since World War II the Netherlands has developed into a more urban, culturally rich, hip hangout. Today's budget travelers are usually attracted by the country's reputation for political, social, and cultural progressivism and an anything-goes social scene; the Netherlands, particularly its leading city, Amsterdam, is now as famous for hash and hookers as it is for windmills and wooden shoes.
