Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands and the country's largest city, is often called the Venice of the North because of its beautiful canals lined with picturesque buildings and squares.
The city is home to some 750,000 inhabitants and 175 different nationalities. You may know Amsterdam from its famous museums (Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Anne Frank), its liberal coffee-shop culture or the Royal Palace located in the centre of Amsterdam.
The city blossoms in spring, sparkles in summer, glows in autumn and glistens in winter. There are a lot of tourists during the high season, but you will quickly learn to find your way around this city, discovering those special spots and corners where you can take a break and enjoy the authentic Amsterdam.
