The capital and largest city of the Netherlands, known for its canals, museums, and liberal culture.
From Dutch 'Amstelredam,' meaning 'dam on the Amstel River.' The city began as a fishing village around a dam built on the Amstel River in the 12th century.
Amsterdam has more canals than Venice and more bridges than Paris - over 1,500 bridges connect its 90 islands. The city's famous narrow houses were built tall and thin because property taxes were based on street frontage width.
