Did you know the Netherlands has the highest concentration of museums per capita in the world? And that Holland only accounts for about 20% of the country’s land area but nearly 40% of its population? That’s why it feels so crowded in Amsterdam! Another gem: the Dutch love their “gezelligheid” (cozy, convivial atmosphere)—and you’ll find it just as much in a small village in Drenthe as in a buzzing café in Haarlem.
Also, the color orange is the national color, not red, white, and blue. It comes from the royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau. So when you wear orange on King’s Day, you’re celebrating all of the Netherlands, not just Holland. Perfect party trivia.
