Facts from our quizzes

Belgium is a wrong choice for Amsterdam and again for the Netherlands's outline. Luxembourg, Russia and France sit beside the Netherlands in the flag round. For the outline, the other choices are Belgium, Denmark and Germany.
Trivia asks: “Which sea borders the Netherlands to the west?” The answer is North Sea. It also asks: “In which country does the Rhine reach the sea?” (Netherlands). Amsterdam Canals and Kinderdijk Windmills, two of 7 Netherlands photos, are marked easy; Leiden is marked hard.
