About Amsterdam

Amsterdam began as a small fishing village at the mouth of the Amstel river around 1275, when a dam was built—giving the city its name. This simple structure allowed the settlement to control trade along the river, attracting merchants and craftsmen. By the 14th century, Amsterdam had grown into a walled city with its own church, the Oude Kerk, which still stands today as the oldest building in the city. The real transformation came during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, when Amsterdam became the center of world trade. The famous canal ring was dug during this period—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that defines the city's character to this day. Wealthy merchants built the grand canal houses that line these waterways, each one telling a story of ambition and prosperity. Today, Amsterdam attracts millions of visitors who come to experience this unique blend of medieval origins, Golden Age grandeur, and vibrant modern culture. The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank House draw crowds from around the world. But the real magic lies in walking the cobblestone streets of the old city center, crossing the same bridges that have connected neighborhoods for centuries, and discovering how a muddy settlement at a river dam became one of Europe's most beloved capitals.
