In Holland, you'll find one of the most efficient, best-organized tourist organizations you're likely to meet up with anywhere. The Vereniging voor Vreemdelingenverkeer (Association for Tourist Traffic), known simply as the VVV, operates more than 400 offices in cities, towns, and villages around the country. VVV offices can book accommodations for you, help with travel arrangements, tell you what's going on where, and . . . well, if there's anything they can't do, I have yet to discover it! Look for a blue-and-white sign (often triangular in shape) bearing the letters "VVV." The umbrella organization for the VVV offices is the Netherlands Board of Tourism (NBT), Vlietweg 15, Postbus 458, 2260 MG Leidschendam (tel. 070/371-5705; fax 070/320-1654).
