City of Amsterdam
Cosmopolitan and colorful, Amsterdam
is among the most frequently chosen destinations in Europe. The unique blend of
past and present that appeals to vacationers also creates a delightful setting
for meetings of any type, as does its history of acceptance, tolerance, and openness. The city, which is famous for its
symmetrical rings of canals crossed by
over 1,000 picturesque bridges, also contains 7,000 historical buildings and
forty-two museums including the

Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. In addition, there are excellent
shopping facilities, numerous theaters,
cozy bars and pubs, and a wide variety
of good restaurants.
