If you want to visit The Netherlands, often confused with “Holland”, you need to apply for a Netherlands Schengen visa <\/strong>in advance. This visa will also grant you access to the rest of the Schengen area<\/a> (depending on what type of Schengen visa<\/a> you apply for). Many travelers refer to the Netherlands as “Holland”<\/em>, but it’s in fact only the central part of the Netherlands that is geographically called Holland (Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland). To add to the confusion, people from<\/em> the Netherlands are called the “Dutch”<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

From savory Dutch chocolate to the debated coffee shops<\/em>, the Netherlands is both one of the world’s most densely populated countries (rivaled by Bangladesh, South-Korea and Taiwan), as well as being the world’s second largest exporter of food and agricultural products. Pretty impressive for this small European country, and the reason for the millions of travelers who make their way here every year.<\/p>\n
