The Royal celebrations in the Netherlands this week put the country and the capital Amsterdam on front pages and television screens around the world with an orange splash. There's plenty to see and do in 48 hours in this compact city, where the world-famous Rijksmuseum only recently reopened after an extensive renovation. Picture taken April 2, 2013.

This ranking takes into account how many hours per week and per year people work as well as how many holiday days they take. Image: REUTERS/Michael Kooren
