Description
The capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is located in the province of North Holland, in the north-west of the country. A lively, liberal and vibrant city, Amsterdam covers an area of 207 square kilometres (80 square miles) and has a population of around 1,730,000 people. Known as the 'Venice of the North', Amsterdam is built on 90 islands linked by 400 stone bridges across 100 kilometres (62 miles) of canals, which fan out from the heart of the old city and, as a result, it is relatively quiet with little traffic.
Amsterdam is the country's cultural, historical and commercial hub. The city is famous for its 17th- and 18th-century gabled houses that line the waterways.
