Although the Netherlands are often referred to as Holland, the Kingdom of the Netherlands actually has twelve provinces, and North and South Holland are only two of the dozen. But what is familiar to many travelers are the windmills, tulips, dikes, delftware pottery and clogs, not to mention the voluminous amount of bicycles that carry its citizens to and fro every day.

The country is renowned for its influx of international visitors, from diplomats to business travelers to tourists. In Amsterdam, the Schiphol Airport (AMS) is one of the top ten most-traveled airports in the world, and through iPass' relationship with Attingo B.V., you can watch the scurrying travelers and still stay connected. Once out into the cities and towns, there's no need to leave the laptop at the hotel—there are more than 1,700 hotspots in the Netherlands where you can get connected with iPass.

Although it would take a lifetime to visit every one of those hotspots, it's worth checking out at least a few of the cities where they keep travelers and citizenry connected. Amsterdam is a must-see, but also stroll through the country's second-largest city, Rotterdam, which has the largest port in Europe and a number of well-known museums that feature everything from historical exhibits to modern artworks. In North Holland, the city of Haarlem has been the center of the tulip trade for centuries, and travelers often spend hours walking along the beautiful coastal dunes before sampling some of the famous local beers. Those interested in politics can visit the Netherlands' seat of government, The Hague, a city that's also home to Queen Beatrix.

Wherever you travel, from the northern climes of Groningen, to the southern tip of Limburg, there's plenty of the Netherlands to discover, and popping onto a Wi-Fi connection is just a hotspot away.
