Amsterdam - the capital of the Netherlands

amsterdam city, holland, netherlandsA big city in a small package Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. The capital of the Netherlands is a famous global city with a cosmopolitan and multicultural sphere.

The city has 750,000 inhabitants and measures about 13 km (9 miles) across.

What makes Amsterdam a unique and welcoming city? Amsterdam is easy to get to know and easy to get around (especially if you ‘go native' and buy or rent a bike!).

Therefore Amsterdam offers the advantages of a big city--culture, entertainment, good public transport, international shops and facilities, history and heritage--combined with the benefits of a small city--friendly and safe atmosphere, not too much traffic, and only a short journey to wherever you need to go.

Amsterdam is easy to reach

Amsterdam is also (relatively) quick to reach from almost any spot on the globe, as Schiphol airport is one of the largest international airports in the world.

The city  has proved itself to be an attractive city for international investment throughout the centuries, from the Golden Age up till today.

The top - city of Europe

One of the 'top cities' in Europe, Amsterdam is recognised as a European knowledge hub - a key player in the global economy, at the forefront of international industry, business and financial services, with high levels of talent and excellent connections to the rest of the world.

Amsterdam is a living, thriving and forward-looking city, with a large population of highly educated young professionals and students. In its picturesque streets the latest trends and technologies happily rub shoulders with its historic past, and you will quickly discover that there is a lot more to the Dutch than tulips and clogs.
