Amsterdam, Netherlands
The capital of the Netherlands, and indeed its largest city, Amsterdam has been an important European city for centuries. Founded as a fishing village, the settlement grew to become the centre of the Dutch Empire during its Golden Era, and during that time was arguably the most important port in the world. At present, it is a part of the sixth largest metropolitan area in Europe, and is the country's largest financial hub. Home to the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, as well as many multinational companies, its importance to European and worldwide business cannot be overlooked.
Of course, like many European cities, Amsterdam's history stretches back many centuries, and visitors to the city will be pleased to find that it is one that is truly worth exploring. From the historic Anne Frank House to the culturally significant Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam has been home to many of modern history's most pivotal figures, a facet of the city's culture that comes across clearly even to the most casual visitor. Drawing around 4.2 million visitors per year, Amsterdam is perhaps most famous for its laid back, easy going atmosphere.
It is no surprise that a city with a history like Amsterdam's should also have a rich cultural heritage. From the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the national museum of Amsterdam, to the massive Heineken Music Hall, the city boasts a wide variety of arts related attractions. The Stopera, which derives its name from the city hall being adjoined by the opera house of Amsterdam, is home to the performing arts groups De Nederlandse Opera, Het Nationale Ballet and the Holland Symfonia, and visitors to the city would do well to not miss a performance of theirs.
Of course, Amsterdam wouldn't be Amsterdam without its vibrant nightlife. A truly multicultural community, the city is home to restaurants specializing in cuisine from all over the world. Visitors will also of course do well to visit some of its famous clubs and discotheques. All in all, Amsterdam is an ancient city that's well versed in the present, and therefore has something to offer to every type of visitor. From the Netherlands, to Europe, to the world, this one destination that truly breaks boundaries, and changes perspectives.
