About Amsterdam:
The name is derived from the Dutch words Amstel and dam, which mean literally dam on the river Amstel. Amsterdam was one of the most important ports in the Dutch Golden Age, and the River Amstel is a large part of the charm of this Dutch capital and largest city of the Netherlands. Nowadays, Amsterdam combines art, history and culture in the 5th largest tourist attraction in Europe.
The Dam is a popular site for all with options ranging from a relaxing canal ride, art museums housing large collections of Dutch art, or for the more liberal crowd, many discotheques and coffee shops. A trip to Amsterdam is worth it just to see the canals that were the result of intricate city planning back in the 17th century!
