This part of the country consists now of two provinces Noord Holland (North Holland) and Zuid-Holland (South Holland). This is the region with important cities as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague (Den Haag), Delft, Leiden and Haarlem.
Amsterdam uses an XXX flag to represent the city and you’ll see this symbol all over town. It dates back to 1505 when Amsterdam was a fishing village and the X stands for St. Andrew, who was a fisherman and was crucified on a diagonal cross. The XXX symbol can also be taken to deal with the city’s famous sex industries.

In the city you can discover something new each time, did you know that aside from 6 windmills there are 600,000 bicycles? In one of the 51 museums is very much to see and enjoy.
