Our country isn't just only Amsterdam. Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Groningen, Maastricht, our 5 Islands in the North of the Netherlands, our landscape like the Veluwe, the Keukenhof gardens, the small village Giethoorn, the Delta Works, the mill network at Kinderdijk, our west coast, the hills of the province of Limburg and a lot more. a country of 17 million people, but in 4 hours you are driving from the North to the South of the Netherlands. I think that I'm a lucky man that I'm living in this beautiful country
One of my best friends since elementary school is from Holland. I spent a lot of my childhood at his house. I became in awe of their dutch traditions such as farming, dairy products, and delicious home cooked meals, as well as family values. Him and his family were probably the hardest working and nicest group of people I've ever met. Heck, even over the years of being around him, I even picked up on a little dutch!

That's just about the coolest tourism commercial I've ever seen for any country ever. I'm sold. Holland, you're officially at the top of my list. Well done
We happened to be in Amsterdam for the coronation of their new king on Queen's Day 2013. Queen Beatrix abdicated her throne exactly 30 years to the day after being crowned. The entire city was a sea of bright orange, people packed into Dam Square; a street party that started early and went all day long. Try as we might, we never found the edge of the party, it just went on forever from the Red Light District to Rembrandt Square; from the museum district to the harbor area. Great music, incredible food, everyone in a festive mood, street peddlers offering everything from household items to laughing gas balloons, coffee shops brimming with people, canals chock-full of boats of every kind overflowing with revelers, and everywhere we turned, we met the most beautiful, friendly people I have ever encountered. The only rule we were made aware of is that no coolers or backpacks were allowed. You can have a single beverage with you, which means you must purchase drinks from local bars and restaurants. This works well as it encourages you to walk around and see all of Amsterdam, stopping now and then to witness the floatillas on the canals, watch a live band, grab a meal, have a drink or use a restroom. A good spot along the canal makes for the best people watching, but even that isn't enough to keep you in one place all day. Once you go, you'll know.
Yeah we were there around the time when this commercial came out.. And we actually found that one person who didnt speak English :) Really nice country and one of the best vacation....
I was very impressed by this commercial. Good job Holland! I'm poor and probably won't be traveling any time soon, but I had to comment on this after seeing it. Great marketing.
I agree with the focus of these advertisements about travel to The Netherlands and Amsterdam. We visited in May 2014. Amsterdam is a great place to go without having to decide in-advance what to do before one arrives. There are too many attractions and activities to mention that can fulfill any taste or objective. The Schiphol Airport is very convenient, pleasant, and efficient for travelers. The people of Amsterdam are universally helpful and inviting to visitors. English probably is more prevalent than Dutch, at least in the city. Public transportation is cost-effective and convenient. KLM provides great service from the US, even in coach. We stayed in a local place - Hotel Larende. Look it up on Tripadvisor. The entire experience was better than expected.
jarno bruins America is a famouse country wich is often on tv,radio,internet etc. But the Netherlands isn't so people often don't know a lot about our country and our cities. If i hear Iceland than i also only think about the capital 'reykjavik' not the rest of the cities
I watched this video early this year. I had no idea back then that I would actually heed the call and go to Amsterdam in 2013. This city is awesome beyond imaginable. I definitely want to live there for at least a couple of years!
+Alfred Khoury If you are Syrian orthodox Christian (saint Ephrem), you should come to the Twente Area in the Netherlands. There is a big Syrian Orthodox population here and also a monastery, you are very welcome :)
Yup, because Holland (the Netherlands) has 1 only city: Amsterdam. Just like France is only has Paris -_-. THERE ARE OTEHR CITIES IN THE NETHERLANDS BESIDES AMSTERDAM (like Groningen)
Den Haag, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht..and you go with..'like Groningen' :) That's loyalty right there. But yeah, I haven't seen an inch of The Netherlands that I didn't love.
Now I am confused, in England we have always called your country Holland, only to be told it's "The Netherlands" - now you are calling it Holland again in your video!!! Were we right all along :)
hahaha its a bit confusing yea. i am from the netherlands and we say: Nederland. (The Netherlands) but you can use both. holland sounds better though :P
Officially it's The Netherlands. Holland is officially only the two provinces North and South Holland. But in many languages (mainly the Latin and some Asian ones) it's Hollanda anyway. We will get what you mean in any case;)
As long as I am not being offensive or disrespectful I will continue referring to your country as Holland, as I have always done. Regardless, it is a beautiful country and one I enjoy visiting.
Beautiful city...I would love to go back. The folks weren't unfriendly just went about their business. I was there in February when it was cold,damp and gray but had a great time...
This is so accurate! Holland is beautiful in many ways. Interesting in every aspect. The dutch people that I met....the nicest people ever. Go! You're gonna love it!
Nielsly it may be a beautiful city but it ungortunately has zero historical buildings in the city centre. For real it’s just an americanized city with skycrapers and modern buildings. Beautiful? Maybe. Unique? Absolutely not (although they like to say they are).
I'm going to Delft in the summer to visit a buddy for two weeks, and celebrate my 21st birthday, and Felix just sent me this link and I'm so excited I'm gonna vibrate out of my skin~
Always some ashamed Dutch, but I have gone all over Holland for many years and have had many Dutch friends, always self-effacing, great company, and great friends. I love your architecture, culture, and your people are the best in Europe. Much love to Holland from a San Francisco Californian Indian who's been to 30 plus countries, and for any Dutch ladies, I am single.
This video singlehandedly inspired me to think about the Netherlands as a potential place to live and work. This week, I received a response to a job application in The Hague, and have one big telephone interview lined up to (possibly) seal the deal. So congrats to Visit Holland on their stellar marketing work!
Nice! Great commercial, I love it. Probably only 2 things I would miss in this country are mountains and sun. OK and sea. So Dutch people, you come to Croatia to vacation and I will come there to live. :(
I think that's no problem at all since the purpose of this video is clearly spreading the word that The Netherlands (Holland/Amsterdam) is awesome to visit! I would do it if I were you Cheers From Amsterdam
+Jose Soto It's a beautiful country but the language is so hard to learn if you Native language is English..... It's so funny to hear english people try to speak the "G" in dutch words XD
No worries about the Dutch part. Depending on what kind of job you have and if you work in a city, chances are you're not even required to speak Dutch. However, if you haven't enjoyed a higher education or a practical skillset (such as machine operators, etc.) and work in retail, you're in tough luck.
From the title I gathered it would be about more than Amsterdam and I agree. When people come to visit the Netherlands I always tell them to step outside of Amsterdam, I had a bunch of international friends over a few summers ago and took them to where I live, near Zwolle, and they loved it!
Our country isn't just only Amsterdam.

What is the holo cast....?

Thank you. People only know Amsterdam...

You say Holland we say The Netherlands

Hup Netherlands doesn't have the same ring to it. :-)
I HATE PEOPLE CALLING MY COUNTRY HOLLAND and btw you forgot Leeuwarden
But I guess Amsterdam is in Holland so no complaints

I've never met a more chilled out people than those from Holland. Seriously it's amazing.
My boyfriend is Dutch & I can't wait to go to the Netherlands with him next year :]
hope you have a good time
Dump the boyfriend , keep the country
LOVE HOLLAND!!! Greetings from Portugal
I am from England and i think Holland is amazing i go to Holland every year to hattem plus they r amazing at football
Thats how one should represent his country. A very good video, fun and intensive
i love this country!
Yeah we were there around the time when this commercial came out.. And we actually found that one person who didnt speak English :) Really nice country and one of the best vacation....
Well, now I want to go to Holland!

The Smart Shop mixed with the Van Gogh Museum has been the highlight of my life so far!
You know what's not cool?
That Holland Always gets associated with Amsterdam!
Don't we all associate countries with their capitals.....
+Golden Gamer I associate the US with new york, not with Washington D.C. its funny to see English videos about the netherlands
jarno bruins America is a famouse country wich is often on tv,radio,internet etc. But the Netherlands isn't so people often don't know a lot about our country and our cities. If i hear Iceland than i also only think about the capital 'reykjavik' not the rest of the cities
+Golden Gamer but capital of hollans is Haarlem (north) and the Hague(south) Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands
Jin jun Liu I know that
I watched this video early this year. I had no idea back then that I would actually heed the call and go to Amsterdam in 2013.
This city is awesome beyond imaginable. I definitely want to live there for at least a couple of years!
im syrian but i live in holland i love it en ook ik wil nederlands leren
Jij komen hier? Haha welkom!
+Alfred Khoury If you are Syrian orthodox Christian (saint Ephrem), you should come to the Twente Area in the Netherlands.
There is a big Syrian Orthodox population here and also a monastery, you are very welcome :)
That is why I love the Netherlands! It’s a beautiful country!
what's the song playing in this?
Anstonishing work!
There is so much more in the netherlands than amsterdam.
Ja hé
I miss the Netherlands. Favorite country ever and where my brother lives. If only I could live there...
Yup, because Holland (the Netherlands) has 1 only city: Amsterdam. Just like France is only has Paris -_-.
THERE ARE OTEHR CITIES IN THE NETHERLANDS BESIDES AMSTERDAM (like Groningen)
Whahaha Groningen.
Den Haag, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht..and you go with..'like Groningen' :) That's loyalty right there. But yeah, I haven't seen an inch of The Netherlands that I didn't love.
groningen? HA! tourists need to check out the smaller towns!! like schiedam or gouda :)
bluesboydude or Kampen Zwolle IJsselmuiden
koen klop or Amersfoort.

+Roger Coleman And Holland is probably what most people google. That's why the site is called holland.com (I guess).

CGP Grey, anyone?
+Jakub Waniek Ha! Yes! :D Long time ago since I seen any videos of him tho :(
We will be visiting there next April, can't wait to see what Amsterdam is all about. The video is fantastic.
I called it my working place.
yea im from Poland ;D
haha i know what you mean XD
😂
An amazing country, amazing people....an amazing video...Thank you !!!!
Love you Holland, missing you...
Holland is meer dan alleen Amsterdam
This is so accurate! Holland is beautiful in many ways. Interesting in every aspect. The dutch people that I met....the nicest people ever. Go! You're gonna love it!
It's NOT all about that bloody Amsterdam there are more beautiful cities, Like Rotterdam :)
However Rotterdam is just the worst city to live in
No, my friend, that would be Baghdad.
Nielsly Fijn dat cliché is er uit. Voel je je nu een stukje beter?
Nielsly it may be a beautiful city but it ungortunately has zero historical buildings in the city centre. For real it’s just an americanized city with skycrapers and modern buildings. Beautiful? Maybe. Unique? Absolutely not (although they like to say they are).
@@timmyturner4997 O shut up. Is it our fault the Germans have ruined our old city heart?
Thats how you should represent your country!! A very good video, fun and intensive.
It was all cool up to the gay couple holding hands.
I hope because of that, you will never ever visit our open-minded country!
Probably best you visit Russia or Somalia and spent a lovely holiday with some likeminded homophobic neanderthals.
it ok for you to think that just don't say shit like that here, thnx
I'm going to Delft in the summer to visit a buddy for two weeks, and celebrate my 21st birthday, and Felix just sent me this link and I'm so excited I'm gonna vibrate out of my skin~
i have been at amsterdam and there was a amazing place i have ever seen !!
Greeting from Perú, I wish I can go there sometime!
Finally someone who sees it for what it truly is.
I wanna travel to Amsterdam NOW!
The Land of Hardstyle!!
Always some ashamed Dutch, but I have gone all over Holland for many years and have had many Dutch friends, always self-effacing, great company, and great friends.

Excellent conceptualization...well done folks !

Nice! Great commercial, I love it. Probably only 2 things I would miss in this country are mountains and sun. OK and sea. So Dutch people, you come to Croatia to vacation and I will come there to live. :(
This time I will say it in English that I like this movie and that it was a real pleasure to participate in the cast.
I am not coming from Amsterdam Holland but from Arnhem Guelderland and that's my proud!!!!!!!but we all are members of the Netherlands
I think that's no problem at all since the purpose of this video is clearly spreading the word that The Netherlands (Holland/Amsterdam) is awesome to visit!
I would do it if I were you
Cheers
From Amsterdam
Amazing, love it!
Excellent ad to encourage me to visit holland some day soon.
I'm from Colombia, I would like to live in Holland, it seems to me a beautiful country.
+Jose Soto
It's a beautiful country but the language is so hard to learn if you Native language is English.....
It's so funny to hear english people try to speak the "G" in dutch words XD
My native language is Spanish, I speak English and I write it less or more.
No worries about the Dutch part. Depending on what kind of job you have and if you work in a city, chances are you're not even required to speak Dutch.
However, if you haven't enjoyed a higher education or a practical skillset (such as machine operators, etc.) and work in retail, you're in tough luck.
Ik ben de een Amerikaanse kerel die eigelijk probeert Nederlands te spreken.... en ik houd van Nederland!!! Natuurlijk!
I want to visit so badly!!
Brilliant ad, well made! You've got this Australian interested :)
This is the right way to advertise, without sex or subliminal messages. simple and honest.
Kick ass commercial. I wish there were more of this quality.
The Greatest country on Earth!!!
I reeeeaally wanna go to the Netherlands now
Woow, this is really a AMAZING video.! Great AMSTERDAM !
Holland is a wonderful country. very nice people! from South Africa:)
Holland the most beautiful country in the world
Amazing!!! Goed bezig!!
From the title I gathered it would be about more than Amsterdam and I agree. When people come to visit the Netherlands I always tell them to step outside of Amsterdam, I had a bunch of international friends over a few summers ago and took them to where I live, near Zwolle, and they loved it!
Holland is Awesome.
So exited!! Coming to Holland soon!!
Amsterdam We Love You!
Beautiful country! :D
I don't normally do this...but this was a really good ad.
New Years in Amsterdam is lit af
The song is "Hooks in me - Beans and Fatback" the part at 2:45min.
It's only as fun as the person experiencing it. Which pretty much tells me what kind of person you are.
I do plan to visit the Netherlands in 2013. I also plan on hiding and staying and hoping nobody notices. Awesome country.
QUIERO IR A VIVIR AHÍ!!!!
i just knew that holland is netherland.. and amsterdam is the only thing i know about netherland. #bucketlist
