About Amsterdam

Let us welcome you to Amsterdam, a place of many inspiring and surprising faces. No other city mixes cosmopolitan style and relaxed atmosphere quite like Amsterdam, where our hospitable nature attracts an excitingly diverse population. We invite you to join us and make our metropolis your own during your stay.

Amsterdam is an ideal conference destination, hosting hundreds of world-class congresses, conventions, events and trade fairs each year. Offering quality facilities, venues and service providers, the city is a favorite for meeting planners and delegates alike and, as such, is the proud host of numerous innovative conventions.

There’s a lot to experience for visitors: Amsterdam is packed with cultural, historical and architectural delights – from museums and attractions to restaurants, cafés, shopping and nightlife. The city’s cultural scene is bustling, ensuring visitors can have both a memorable meeting and great experiences after business hours. And transport is straight-forward and convenient, whether it’s by taxi, train, tram, metro, bus, ferry, bike or on foot, so journeys are short, pleasant and enlightening for guests from the Netherlands or beyond.

Home to some of the world’s most acclaimed works of art, with more canals than Venice, more bridges than Paris and nearly 7,000 monumental buildings, our compact floating city offers a variety of historical and cultural treasures. It’s no wonder Amsterdam’s historic canal ring has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
