Western Netherlands

The Western Netherlands, commonly known as the Randstad, is the most urban area of the country with most sights and activities. Host to the Big Four of Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht, it has the most important airports, harbors, museums, restaurants and nightlife. However, typical Dutch rural villages can also be found here, such as Kinderdijk, Marken, Volendam and Zaanse Schans.
