Bicycles are the primary mode of transport; the national rail network (NS) is incredibly efficient and connects all major cities; Amsterdam is served by an extensive tram and metro network; ferries are common for water crossings; car rentals are easy but parking in cities is very expensive.

Cultural Etiquette

Directness and honesty are valued; always shake hands when introducing yourself; punctuality is very important; it's common to split the bill (going Dutch); remember to stay out of the bike lanes when walking.
