Vondelpark is the largest city park in Amsterdam, and certainly the most famous park in the Netherlands, which welcomes about 10 million visitors every year. The realization of the entire Vondelpark area started in 1864 and was completed in 1878. In conjunction with the expansion of the City of Amsterdam a plan was designed by landscape architect Zocher to realize a Park outside the city wall near the city centre. The Vondelpark is loved by Amsterdammers as well as by tourists, and is full of people - enjoying a sunny day, dog-walking, jogging, roller-skating, listening to music, people-watching, or just lazing about in grass. Constructed on a muddy dump area, the Vondelpark has to go through the total renovation each 30 years. This is because the actual ground level of the park constantly lowers itself. If these works would not be done, the whole park would be covered by water.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands 1080 HD
Amsterdam has always been famous for its Red Light district and cafes selling funny 'cigarettes', but there is a lot more to the city than that. The city avoided bombing in World War Two and as a result there are many well preserved buildings in the old part of the city dating from the 17th century. Bicycling is a way of life here and the flat landscape makes this a great way to see the city. Add to this the beautiful canals and boulevards and Amsterdam becomes a picturesque city with a rich history that will be enjoyed by all ages.
Netherlands. Gouda - Utrecht
The Netherlands, one of the most welcoming countries of Europe and the towns of Gouda and Utrecht is the best evidence of this. There is no hustle and bustle, there reigns prosperity and peace. Visit these cities - it means to spend time in the Netherlands.
Голландия, одна из самых уютных стран Европы и города Гауда и Утрехт является лучшим свидетельством этому. Здесь нет спешки и суеты, тут царит благополучие и покой. Побывать в этих городах - значит побывать в настоящей Голландии.

Netherlands: The Green City of Breda
The City of Breda is situated in the southern part of the Netherlands. The name Breda derived from brede Aa ('wide Aa') and refers to the confluence of the rivers Mark and Aa.
As a fortified city, the city was of strategic military and political significance. Although a direct Fiefdom of the Holy Roman Emperor, the city obtained a municipal charter; the acquisition of Breda, through marriage, by the house of Nassau ensured that Breda would be at the center of political and social life in the Low Countries.
The acquisition of the city by the House of Orange-Nassau marked its emergence as a residentiestad (residence city). The presence of the Orange-Nassau family attracted other nobles, who built palatial residences in the old quarters of the city. In the 15th century the city's physical, economic and strategic importance expanded rapidly. A great church was built in Brabantine Gothic style with a gallant 97 metres (318 ft) high tower, called Grote Kerk (main church) or also Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk (Church of Our Lady). In 1534 Henry III of Nassau-Breda rebuilt the modest medieval fortifications in impressive style.
In 1534 a fire destroyed over 90 percent of the city, close to 1300 houses, churches and chapels and the town hall. Only 150 houses and the main church remained.
The city center contains old buildings and portions of the singels (moats) and the harbour. Focal point is the Grote Markt, the main square with pubs and sidewalk cafes.
Park Valkenberg is a major public park, halfway between the main railway station Breda and the Grote Markt.
Major historic buildings include:
- The Grote Kerk or Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk (Church of Our Lady) whicht is a major
example of the Brabant style of Gothic Architecture.
- The Castle of Breda.
- The Begijnhof, a Beguinage.
- Saint Anthony's Cathedral (Sint-Antoniuskathedraal), the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Breda.
- City hall.
- The Spanjaardsgat, a 16th-century water gate.
