Amsterdam

The history

The Dutch capital of concentric canals (a UNESCO site), gabled merchant houses, the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh, and the Anne Frank House — the great city of the 17th-century Golden Age.

In brief

Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands. It has a population of 933,680 in June 2024 within the city proper, 1,457,018 in the urban area and 2,480,394 in the metropolitan area. Located in the Dutch province of North Holland, Amsterdam is colloquially referred to as the "Venice of the North", for its large number of canals, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
