Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is a small city by European standards
(population 750.000) but one of the most charming and delightful towns of
Europe. It possesses the largest historical inner city of Europe with beautiful
monumental buildings and an extensive web of canals. The city can be easily
explored on foot: museums, theatres, shopping streets, monuments, open air
markets and most other features of interest are generally within walking
distance from one another. The city is famous for its 17th century canals;
a boat trip along the canals, is a very special experience made by more than
2 million tourists yearly. Amsterdam is also one of the leading cultural
centres of Europe, with a high concentration of famous museums, for example,
the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank
House. The Rijksmuseum has a large collection of old Dutch masters, including
of course many Rembrandts, Vermeers, Steens etc. The Van Gogh museum and
the Stedelijk Museum harbor top collections of not only impressionists but
also contemporary art. Other touristic attractions include the Diamantslijperijen
(diamond cutting establishments) and The Rembrandt House.
Schiphol International Airport, located about 15 kilometres (10 miles) from
the centre of Amsterdam, has direct scheduled connections to many cities
in the world. Since Schiphol railway station is located in the arrival/departure
building of the airport, the centre of Amsterdam can be reached easily by
train in approximately 15-20 minutes (costs: approximately DFL 6,50). Taxi
service is also available (costs: approximately DFL 60,-). KLM-shuttle buses
leave the arrival building regularly for different hotels in the city (DFL
17,50 one way). Amsterdam is also conveniently linked to many European cities
by rail, and The Netherlands has an excellent network of highways that connect
with all the major trans-European routes.
