About The Netherlands/Holland

The land of windmills, waterways, clogs and flowers, Holland has always had something of a romantic feel to it. Historical archives are littered with the works of many great Dutch artists and not surprisingly, given the natural beauty of their surroundings, many of these artists were painters. From the landscapes of Anton Mauve to the portraits of Ary Scheffer, from the atmospherics of Rembrandt van Rijn to the cubism of Piet Mondrian and Piet Blom the country has nurtured and celebrated artistic talent for many centuries.

The latest in a long line of artists to come from this part of the world is Fiona Tan, a video artist who has recently been shown in the Tate, just one example of how Dutch artistry is moving with the times. The capital of Holland, Amsterdam plays host to the Amsterdam International Fashion Week that is now in its 12th year. It has firmly put Amsterdam and Holland on the map as one of Europe’s foremost fashion capitals.

Art and fashion aside, Holland is a centre for trade and industry, exporting petroleum products, machinery and trade tools, fuel oils, scientific, medical & hospital equipment, dental & pharmaceutical preparations, industrial organic chemicals, nuclear fuel materials, other industrial machinery and wine.

Removals to Amsterdam

One of the greatest small cities in the world, Amsterdam is well known for its canal system and its wide variety of small and interesting museums. There are around 60 in total, dealing with everything from houseboats to fluorescent art, not to mention Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Amsterdam has a big city culture and great nightlife together with good public transport and very little traffic. A popular mode of transport is the bicycle as Amsterdam and Holland in general, is quite flat.

Removals to Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a lively city benefiting from diverse architectures that span many decades. Rotterdam’s population is quite young, brought down by the large student presence which has given the city a new lease of life. There is an energy here that attracts people from all over the world. Industry and commerce are alive and well too with the city boasting the busiest harbour in the whole of Europe and a thriving shipping industry.

Removals to The Hague

The Hague or Den Haag as the Dutch call it, is Holland's third largest city and home to the Dutch Monarchy, the seat of the Dutch Government and the Supreme Court. The city looks and feels for all the world, like a capital city with its Embassy buildings, wide tree lined boulevards, statues and fountains, but it is not. That honour was bestowed upon Amsterdam some 200+ years ago.

Removals to Utrecht

The fourth largest Dutch city, Utrecht occupies a central position within the country and has become the transport hub of the nation. Many multinational companies have based their headquarters here and this has swelled the city’s population to around 300,000. Utrecht offers a high standard of living and education within a very pleasant environment and as a result, it has attracted a highly skilled workforce as well as a large number of students.

Removals to Eindhoven

Once a small rather innocuous village, Eindhoven was transformed by the arrival of the Philips electronics company and whilst much of that organisation has since been relocated, its presence here is still great. The city is also home to one of Holland’s greatest football teams; PSV Eindhoven; the De Tongelreep Swimming Paradise, with its water slides, rapids and wave machines, the Ice Sports Centre and the Frits Philips Concert Hall.

Removals to Tilburg

Tilburg’s population numbers some 200,000 making it the sixth largest city in Holland and it is probably the most cosmopolitan too. The city is peopled by nationals from across Europe and farther afield and the city’s authority welcomes this diversity. Every conceivable amenity is available here from schools to colleges and quality healthcare. The many different cultures are well catered for and the wide open, flat green spaces lend themselves perfectly to bike rides.
