The Netherlands is a country located in Western Europe, known for its low-lying terrain and extensive system of waterways. It borders Germany to the east and Belgium to the south, while its western and northern boundaries are formed by the North Sea. The country covers an area of approximately 41,500 square kilometers, making it relatively small in size but densely populated and highly developed.
Among its most important rivers are the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt, which shape much of the country’s landscape and have historically influenced trade, transport, and land reclamation. The Netherlands is geographically characterized by flat plains, polders reclaimed from the sea, and an intricate network of canals. Significant portions of the territory lie below sea level, protected by an advanced system of dikes and engineering works.
Administratively, the Netherlands is divided into 12 provinces, each with its own local government. The population is around 17.5 million inhabitants, with a high level of urbanization centered on the Randstad region, which includes major cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht. The country’s geography, infrastructure, and strategic coastal position have made it a key economic and cultural hub in Europe.
