From its canals to its world-famous museums and
historical centers, Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and beautiful European
cities. There is nothing quite like this small capital and its deep cultural
heritage. Not only is Amsterdam colorful, serene, and romantic, it is also
exciting and sophisticated.
Amsterdam is a major port conveniently
located near Schiphol Airport and is the site of many national and international
business conferences. It is also at the heart of the ever expanding
European Union.
Amsterdam is a cultural, historical, and
architectural marvel. The city is laid out in concentric rings of canals around
the old center, crosscut by a network of access roads and alley-like connecting
streets. Most of the museums are clustered at the edge of the canal district and
are among the best in Europe. In addition, visitors will want to see Europe's
first stock exchange, which now serves as a grand concert hall and exhibition
space, and pause for coffee at one of the first coffee houses in Europe. There
is also the Anne Frank house, where the famous diarist’s family hid during World
War II. The Museum of the Resistance provides educational and historical
information about the Holocaust.
Artis Zoo houses over 6,000 animals, most of whom
live in outdoor enclosures that provide surroundings representing their natural
habitats. The adjoining aquarium boasts one of the world's largest collections.
Interactive exhibits at the Science and Technology Museum provide children and
adults with hours of educational fun. Other highlights of Amsterdam are its
Floating Flower Market, where the merchandise is displayed on barges, and the
Diamond District. Many of the city's diamond polishers give free demonstrations
of diamond cutting and offer sales of set and un-set stones.
