About Amsterdam
Most capital cities house the nation’s parliament, but not The Netherlands! Although The Hague is the administrative capital, Amsterdam is the official capital. With over 1.1 million inhabitants, it’s a bustling metropolis that oozes history and charm.
Beyond the Amsterdam stereotypes of “smoke and sex”, the 400-year-old waterways are central to the Dutch city. The “Venice of the North” houses over 1,500 bridges to cross over. Ride along one of 165 canals on a glass-sided boat, or pedal by the waterway on a bicycle. They’re both popular ways to get around town!
View over 800 years of Dutch paintings at the Rijksmuseum and look for the Vermeer and Rembrandt artwork. And don’t miss the Sunflowers painting at the Van Gogh Museum. A stop at the Anne Frank Museum is a must too.
Fly from London Luton Airport to Amsterdam in 1 hour and 10 minutes.
