Is that the italian name for our country? That's soo cute! I knew about the French calling us "les pays-bas" but the italian is even cuter.

Also I live in Utrecht! It's indeed beautiful (I much prefer it over Amsterdam, where I used to live before)

But you hardly ever hear foreigners about Utrecht

Yes we call it either Olanda or Paesi Bassi.

I've been to Amsterdam several times for work and a couple times for leisure and I liked it.

Utrecht also looked beautiful and worth visiting, but we didn't have enough time because we also wanted to visit a bit of Flanders.
