| The Netherlands is a small country with big character and a lot to explore. Jumping on a bike, like the locals, is one of the best ways to begin an adventure. And with the flat land, peddling around is a fairly easy task. Windmills and tulips line the laid-back countryside, while the fast-paced European lifestyle is easily spotted in the larger cities.
There are two official languages in the Netherlands. The first language, Dutch, is spoken by the vast majority of the residents. Frisian is the other official language and is spoken in the northern province of Friesland. It is very common for the people of the Netherlands to speak more than one language, with almost 70% of the population being proficient in English, 55–59% in German, and 19% in French.
