We have a little wrong habit to call the Netherlands Holland. Know that Holland is just one of the provinces of the Netherlands, but it is large enough and extensive. So that you will not get too confused, in this article we will also dwell on the name we are familiar with - Holland, and talk about its sights that attract young people from all over the world to smell the freedom that hangs in the air of these amazing places.
The most beautiful places and places of interest in Holland
Amsterdam - the capital of the Netherlands, which contains the main attractions of this country, this is where many representatives of modern youth dream to go. Let's find out what exactly attracts them.
- One of the most interesting places in Holland is the Madame Tussauds Museum , or rather its branch. There are more than hundreds of wax figures, among which you will see the ideal copies of famous personalities: Rembrandt, Gorbachev, Lady Gaga and many others. Especially it is pleasant to visitors that figures can be not only photographed, but also to pose next to them. But that's not all. For those who wish to open the door to the mini-workshop located in the museum, where you can try your hand and have a little pampering with wax.
- A separate point will tell about the underground of Amsterdam, which is in the same building as the "Wax Museum". This dungeon is always happy to its visitors and is ready to accept real brave souls. The dungeon of Amsterdam is not a familiar room for fear, but something more terrible and fascinating, not everyone can decide to enter: the guillotine, the bodies that are beating in death convulsions, the gates of hell, the madhouse and this is not the whole list of local "entertainments".
- The best fragrant place in Holland is the channel Singel, it has been selling flowers for about 150 years. Previously, trade was exclusively on boats, and the market was called floating, today this tradition is no longer followed and all traders are located in their shops, fixed above the water. When visiting this place, remember the main rule: do not spend money on bouquets! It is better to thoroughly buy bulbs and seeds, which in Holland is not only cheaper, but also more quality.
- The Van Gogh Museum is a place where more than 200 paintings of this great Dutch artist are collected. This museum is a place intended not only for art lovers. I will like children here. In addition to the famous canvases, you can see the artist's drawings, which he painted as a child. Also here there are microscopes, in which you can look at the paint, special monitors are installed, on which everyone can observe the technique of color change. And the most interesting for many visitors of this museum is the opportunity to touch some of the canvases.
- "The Museum of Marijuana" is very popular among young people. But after visiting there, they are a little disappointed. This place only tells about the history, benefits and use of popular drugs in the workplace and in medicine. There will not be a tasting, which some people dream of. In order to try the light drugs that are freely available in this country, it is enough just to visit one of the many coffeeshops located on city streets.
- Red Light Street is a local attraction that will immerse you in a world of sexual emancipation and erotica. In addition to legalized prostitution, this quarter is famous for its "Museum of Erotica" (a collection of which surpasses all its counterparts from other countries) and a huge number of sex shops, visiting which, you probably buy a lot of souvenirs for friends, as well as adult toys for yourself.
The presented list is only an insignificant part of what Holland has to offer its tourists, there will be entertainment for everyone here.
