WHERE IS THE NETHERLANDS?

The Netherlands is in Europe. It lies on the North Sea, next to Germany and Belgium. As you can see on this map, it is not very big. Even so, more than 16 million people live in the Netherlands, making it one of the most crowded countries in the world.

Position of The Netherlands within Europe

The two farthest points in the country are only 350 kilometres apart. In just over four hours, you can travel by train all the way from Vlissingen, in the southwest, to Groningen, in the northeast.
