EXCERPT:
The Province of North Holland is rich in history, natural
beauty and panache. It offers visitors a wealth of uniquely
Dutch impressions, including the vibrant patchwork of
spring bulb fields, colourful cheese markets, and traditional
old fishing villages. Travellers enjoy its surprisingly good
beaches, its cornucopia of lakes, and its ancient and vast
woodlands. Windmill-dotted canals still cut their way
through the notoriously flat countryside, gently infiltrating
Holland's towns and cities where fine historic buildings
and world-class museums join hands. In this province
you will find the world's largest flower market, and a city
like no other - Amsterdam.
