Destination Guide Amsterdam

Attractions in Amsterdam

From its humble beginnings as a fishing village in the 13th century, Amsterdam has flourished into a leading international centre for business and finance. As a testament to its economic clout, the Netherlands capital is ranked as a prominent ‘alpha city’ by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Research Network, alongside the likes of Washington and Frankfurt.

In addition, Amsterdam has emerged as a leading tourism destination, attracting more than 4.5 million visitors from around the world each year. Much of this success can be attributed to the warmth of Dutch hospitality and the mass appeal of Amsterdam’s cultural attractions, which are amongst the best in the world. From historical monuments and scenic canals to world-renowned museums and art galleries, holidaymakers are truly spoilt for choice.
