Amsterdam:
From its canals to its world-famous museums and historical centers, Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and beautiful European cities. There is nothing quite like this small capital and its deep cultural heritage. Not only is Amsterdam colorful, serene, and romantic, it is also exciting and sophisticated. The cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam is ranked as Europe's fourth most important tourist center and is visited each year by over four million people. Although the majority of visitors come to Amsterdam to enjoy its architectural beauty and outstanding tourist sights, monuments, museums and art galleries, the city is also an important venue for business conferences and conventions, and is at the center of the recently formed European Union. Amsterdam is just 9.5 miles from Schiphol Airport, the fourth largest airport in Europe, is also close to the continental motorway network, and is a major port used by ocean-going liners.
Amsterdam is a cultural, historical, and architectural marvel.
