The Netherlands' main international airport is Schiphol, but Eurolines buses and international trains are also popular methods for reaching the country. Highway connections to the surrounding parts of Europe are extensive, and ferries link the UK with a handful of ports in the Netherlands.
The horizontal nature of the countryside makes the humble bicycle the ideal device for getting around, though there are decent train and bus networks to transport those with pedal-weary feet. You can also drive or motorcycle around, but only if you have an impeccable sense of direction and a knack for finding parking spaces.
