Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands is one of Europe's great places. A city of contrasts - of water, canals and bridges, from 17th century grand merchant houses to stunning modern architecture; from funky shops and boutiques to hip cafes and restaurants; a major European business, transport and financial hub with kamikaze cyclists and the infamous red light district. Amsterdam is a superb destination for a city break where you can enjoy both city buzz and find a quiet, peaceful spot to relax. It also attracts many international expats who wish to live and work here on a more permanent basis.
