About Amsterdam

Let us welcome you in Amsterdam. An amazing city, with many faces. From the historic heart of the city to the high-tech buildings on the city’s new Zuidas, Amsterdam is a lively city and it invites you to come over and enjoy its pleasures. It is a place with a creative and informal atmosphere, a metropolis at the size of a village. Amsterdam has a lot to offer: some of the greatest works of art in the world, more canals than Venice, more bridges than Paris and 7,000 monumental buildings. No wonder Amsterdam’s ancient centre is a nominee for UNESCO’s world heritage list. Amsterdam has many other surprises as well. From world famous diamond factories to the city’s many bars or nightclubs, 24 hours a day, Amsterdam will provide you with its endless possibilities and its free, open spirit. Welcome to Amsterdam!

I look forward to meeting you all in Amsterdam in 2011!

Dr. Eberhard van der Laan
Mayor of Amsterdam
