Bard He/Him Netherlands
I object 
Anyway, it was cool, many interesting sights, but I prefer those calm, beautiful places with loads of forests, lakes, mountains etc, like Ireland, Sweden, heck, even Canada

Same for me, though I've never been to Ireland or Sweden... That's why I haven't actually visited many cities. I went to London for a school trip a few years ago, and it was fun. If you count small cities as well my vote for most beautiful town would probably go to Mariánské Lázně. It's absolutely fantastic if you enjoy Jugendstil architecture (like I do...).

The worst city I've been to? That'd probably be something German. They always seem to have a very unpleasant odor... I especially seem to remember the smell in Dresden to be bad though I last visited it more than ten years ago. From the stories I heard about Berlin it's quite bad there as well, though I've never been there.

It's probably because the Netherlands is actually one vast city, with LOADS of people and little room to breathe. On top of that, there's not a lot of nature. Just one flat country with not even a hill in it. But it has it's charmes as well.

Uh... You've clearly not visited many places in the Netherlands outside of the Randstad for very long. I grew up close to the Veluwe, and I can tell you it's a great area for cycling. You can't really enjoy it by car, but cycling or walking are great. Try walking through the Kootwijkerzand, it's a really nice trip... They aren't really the vast wildernesses of Canada or Sweden, but they're nice nonetheless.
