How to Dial a Number in the Netherlands
The Netherlands' country code is +31. Landline numbers start with a city code (Amsterdam — 020, Rotterdam — 010), and mobile numbers start with 06. Important: when dialling internationally, drop the leading zero. For example, an Amsterdam landline 020 123 4567 becomes +31 20 123 4567, and a mobile number 06 12 34 56 78 becomes +31 6 12 34 56 78.
Dial directly on the Give a Ring keypad — just start with +31. The rate will be shown right below the number you dial.
🇳🇱 Surprising Facts About the Netherlands
More Bikes Than People
The Netherlands has around 23 million bicycles for a population of 17.9 million — more than one bike per person on average. Amsterdam's main bicycle parking garage near the central station holds over 11,000 bikes at once. Finding yours in there is a sport of its own.
A Country Below Sea Level
About 26% of the Netherlands lies below sea level, and the country's name literally means "low lands." Without dykes, dunes, and pumping stations, large parts of the country — including Amsterdam and Rotterdam — would be underwater. The Dutch quite literally reclaimed their land from the sea.
The Orange Color Isn't on the Flag
Despite the nation's deep love of orange (the color of the royal House of Orange-Nassau), the Dutch flag has no orange in it at all — just red, white, and blue stripes. The top stripe was originally orange, but it tended to fade in sunlight and was gradually replaced by red.
Tulips Aren't Actually Dutch
The tulip is the ultimate symbol of the Netherlands, but the flower originally comes from the mountains of Central Asia and Turkey. In the 17th century, the country experienced "tulip mania," when rare bulbs sold for more than a house in Amsterdam — one of the earliest recorded economic bubbles in history.
Home of the World's First Stock Exchange
In 1602, Amsterdam saw the founding of the Dutch East India Company, along with the world's first official stock exchange where shares were freely traded. The modern financial market essentially started here.
The Tallest People on Earth
The Dutch are, on average, the tallest people in the world, with men averaging over 183 cm. Scientists attribute it to genetics, diet, and healthcare. Doorways in old Amsterdam houses, however, remain notoriously low — watch your head.
🗺️ What Are the Best Places to Visit in the Netherlands?
Amsterdam — The City of Canals
Over 100 kilometers of canals, more than 1,500 bridges, and the charming Jordaan neighborhood. The Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the Anne Frank House make Amsterdam one of Europe's great cultural capitals.
Keukenhof — The World's Largest Flower Garden
Every spring (mid-March to mid-May), over 7 million flower bulbs bloom here — tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths. The garden is only open for a few weeks each year, which makes a visit all the more special.
Giethoorn — The Village Without Roads
Known as the "Venice of the Netherlands," Giethoorn has almost no roads — getting between houses means travelling by boat or on narrow footbridges. One of the most unusual villages in Europe.
Zaanse Schans — Windmill Village
Preserved historic windmills from the 18th and 19th centuries, traditional green wooden houses, and workshops making wooden clogs and cheese right on the banks of the Zaan river.
Rotterdam — The City of the Future
Almost entirely rebuilt after World War II, Rotterdam became a showcase for bold modern architecture — the Cube Houses, the Markthal food market, and the largest port in Europe.
Maastricht — Where Three Countries Meet
One of the country's oldest cities, located right at the border with Belgium and Germany. It's where the Maastricht Treaty that founded the European Union was signed, and the surrounding hills hide mysterious chalk caves.
