Welcome to Amsterdam!
Amsterdam's appeal lies in its rich cultural heritage, diverse and creative culture, commercial dynamism and excellent quality of life. Ultimately, the city's strongest asset is its people: the people who live here, the people who work here, the people who study here, and the people who visit here.
Over the centuries, Amsterdam has managed to preserve its liberal character. A city where brilliant free thinkers and artists, such as Spinoza and Rembrandt, once found inspiration and where the world's first multinational company emerged, Amsterdam is now home to an international creative elite.
