The Dutch have been famous for  their flowers for centuries now and this makes Amsterdam in the spring is a glorious place to be. The arrival of warmer weather the sprouting and budding of the trees and of coarse the fields and fields of flowers in bloom. Aches of yellow, reds, blues, purples all across the landscape. It is an amazing sight to see. Dutch tulip bulb production dates back to the 16th century and at the height of its golden age the tulip bulb was the basis for their economic system. Cross breading, creating new varieties was very much n fashion and huge sums of money were paid for new colors and exotic look. However the price would collapse once production of the new color or exotic look became more common with increased growing of said new variety. This collapse is used as an economic lesson to this day. None the less today the Dutch are very successful flower growers and between the green houses and the fields much of the worlds cut flowers and bulbs originate in the Netherlands and sent out to the world daily. When going this time of year your five star Amsterdam hotels can provide you with information on seeing the flowers and the operations.

Netherlands has also been known for art. Through the centuries many great artists have come from here, Rembrandt, Bosch, Vermeer to name a few of the classic. Dutch paintings historically have been stark portraits of reality. With the commissions of business men Dutch painters painted every day life. Things the business men owned or did. The Dutch painters were free from the influences of the church and nobility. Today there is a strong arts presence in Amsterdam a tradition that goes back centuries.
