| Most residents of the Netherlands live in urban areas; 20 cities in the densely populated country have more than 100,000 inhabitants. Amsterdam, shown here, is the constitutional capital and the country’s largest city. Amsterdam serves as one of Europe’s cultural and economic centers, and is connected to the North Sea by the North Sea Canal. A trademark of life in the Netherlands, canals divide the city into about 90 islands linked by more than 1,000 bridges. | ||||||
