About City
Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, is one of Europe’s most vibrant and picturesque destinations. With its iconic canals, historic architecture, dynamic culture, and forward-thinking spirit, Amsterdam offers a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Often referred to as the “Venice of the North,” the city boasts over 100 kilometers of canals, 1,500 bridges, and thousands of houseboats, all contributing to its unique charm.
Founded in the 12th century as a small fishing village, Amsterdam has grown into a globally influential metropolis. Its name originates from the Amstel River and the dam that was built around it — “Amstelredamme.” During the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, Amsterdam became one of the world's wealthiest cities, a major port for trade, and a hub for art, science, and finance. Remnants of this golden era are still visible today in the stunning canal houses, merchants’ mansions, and world-renowned museums.The city has always embraced diversity, tolerance, and free thinking — qualities that have shaped its liberal character. From offering refuge to religious minorities in the 1600s to legalizing same-sex marriage in 2001 (the first country in the world to do so), Amsterdam continues to lead as a beacon of progress.
Amsterdam’s cityscape is characterized by narrow, gabled buildings that line the canals, cobblestone streets, and leafy squares. The city is carefully preserved and designed, with a focus on sustainability and accessibility. The canal belt (Grachtengordel), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a masterpiece of urban planning. Strolling along these waterways provides a visual feast of Dutch Baroque and Renaissance architecture.Modern architecture also thrives in Amsterdam. Neighborhoods like IJburg and Zuidas showcase innovative urban development with striking contemporary designs, green rooftops, and smart infrastructure.
