Experience the famous Rembrandt paintings in Amsterdam, Holland in a new light! Imagine being the privileged guest of honour at the home of art historian Kees Kaldenbach. Lectures (in Dutch, English or German + translations into Japanese) are given in plain, accessible language.
There is too much to see in Amsterdam. For those who stay one day, I suggest a general Amsterdam tour with an historical walk in the most famous suburbs: Jordaan, the Dam, the Pipe, Canal tour, beguinage, Vondel park. It is relax to make the combination with with a boat trip, a visit to the Anne Frank museum, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum or Hermitage.

CAPITAL CITY OF Netherlands: Amsterdam LANGUAGE OF Netherlands: Dutch CURRENCY OF Netherlands: Euro (EUR) COMMENTS ABOUT Netherlands: The Netherlands is a Benelux country in Western Europe. Cities : Amsterdam (capital), Alkmaar, Delft, Groningen, Haarlem, The Hague, Leiden, Maastricht, Nijmegen, Rotterdam Electricity : 230V/50Hz (European plug) Calling Code : +31 Time Zone : UTC +1 CLIMATE OF Netherlands: temperate; marine; cool summers and mild winters RELIGION OF Netherlands: Roman Catholic 31%, Protestant 21%, Muslim 4.4%, other 3.6%, unaffiliated 40% (1998) POPULATION OF Netherlands: 16,318,199 (July 2004 est.) Dutch 83%, other 17% (of which 9% are non-Western origin mainly Turks, Moroccans, Antilleans, Surinamese and Indonesians) (1999 est.)>>>>>> HISTORY OF Netherlands: The Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999. ECONOMY OVERVIEW OF Netherlands: The Netherlands has a prosperous and open economy, which depends heavily on foreign trade. The economy is noted for stable industrial relations, moderate unemployment and inflation, a sizable current account surplus, and an important role as a European transportation hub. Industrial activity is predominantly in food processing, chemicals, petroleum refining, and electrical machinery. A highly mechanized agricultural sector employs no more than 4% of the labor force but provides large surpluses for the food-processing industry and for exports. The Netherlands, along with 11 of its EU partners, began circulating the euro currency on 1 January 2002. The country continues to be one of the leading European nations for attracting foreign direct investment. Economic growth slowed considerably in 2001-03, as part of the global economic slowdown, but for the four years before that, annual growth averaged nearly 4%, well above the EU average. The government is wrestling with a deteriorating budget position, and is moving toward the EU 3% of GDP budget deficit limit. |
