Beyond sex and drugs

By now, you may be ready to assume that the Netherlands is a Times Square with tulips, and that children and church groups should find another holiday destination in Europe. Not at all: Sex and cannabis are only a small part of the overall tourist scene, and you won't encounter much of either unless you go looking for it.

Need a car in Europe?

Auto Europe guarantees the lowest rental rates for standard cars, sports cars, SUVs, luxury cars, chauffered sedans, and RVs. Its Web site also has driving information for 38 countries.

If you live outside the EU, a tax-free Renault or Peugeot tourist lease can be cheaper than renting. Minimum driver age is 18, there' s no upper age limit, and rates include insurance. See: Short-term car leasing.
