Capitol of Inspiration

Amsterdam is people, twenty-four hours a day. People, short and tall, fat and thin, young and old, rich and poor. Amsterdam, city on the water, sparkles. And Amsterdam accumulates art and culture in profusion. One thing you certainly won't be in Amsterdam: bored. Besides, just about anything is possible. Amsterdam and the 'Amsterdammers' offer you much, so much. The city is rich in diversity and is tolerant above all. Thanks to this tolerance, Amsterdam has grown to full economic and cultural stature over the centuries.

Amsterdam numbers about 150 nationalities, a good 700,000 inhabitants, around 400,000 bicycles, 600,000 flower bulbs in parks and avenues, more than 10,000 shops, 165 canals, nearly 1300 bridges, around 2500 houseboats, an Anne Frank Museum, nearly 7000 buildings from the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, around 6100 animals in Artis Zoo, a Royal Palace, 22 paintings by Rembrandt, roughly 40 concerts and theatre performances each day, at least 1400 cafes and bars, more than 750 restaurants, nearly 30,000 hotel beds and a Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Indeed, you will never be bored in Amsterdam.
