Catholic Shrines & Places of Interest in Netherlands (Holland)
The tiny nation of Netherlands is one of Europe’s main destinations, as well as a transfer point for many flying to Europe through Amsterdam’s Schilphol Airport. The Dutch capital of Amsterdam presents a study in contrasts, with its infamous red light district & marijuana bars opposed to several sites of great spirituality. Perhaps in no other city do we have such opposite extremes.
