Explore Live Cams in the Netherlands

The Netherlands (Nederland) is a low, flat country on the North Sea, covering about 16,040 square miles (41,543 km²). Around a quarter of it lies below sea level, protected by dikes and dunes, and much of the land is polders reclaimed from lakes and the sea. The kingdom also includes Caribbean islands such as Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

Its most famous landscape is the patchwork of canals, windmills and flower fields, from the 19 old windmills of Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the tulip fields that bloom each spring. Along the north coast, the tidal flats of the Wadden Sea are also on the UNESCO list, and the lion is the national symbol.

Harbor and gray seals rest on the sandbanks of the Wadden Sea, where rescued seal pups are cared for before being released. Huge flocks of geese spend the winter on the polders, spoonbills nest in the coastal wetlands, and red deer and wild boar roam the forests and heaths of Hoge Veluwe National Park.

Did You Know? The Netherlands has more bicycles than people, around 23 million bikes for about 18 million residents.
