Waterway Transport
Apart from bicycles, the most distinctive feature of transportation in the Netherlands is its developed waterways and boat transport. With its extensive water channels, the Netherlands has many boats. When they pass through, road surfaces rise, and pedestrians wait as if at a traffic light. Moreover, many locals have their own small boats, which they park in the canals in front of their homes.
Then there’s the boat trip – a group of people drinking and chatting on a small boat. This is a social activity that the Dutch enjoy, and it sounds like a lot of fun.
While each mode of public transportation has its pros and cons, one of the most attractive advantages of the Netherlands is its status as a member of the European Union. In the Netherlands, you can simply pack up and go, enjoying international travel at any time. There’s even recent news suggesting the opening of a direct train route from the Netherlands to Munich, further enhancing travel convenience.
