Amsterdam

As an accessible and compact city Amsterdam is a national and international gateway, and can be easily reached by air, by rail and by road. The city centre is just 20 minutes away from the airport, and the public transportation will easily transport visitors from place to place. Many facilities and sights are in walking distance and the city’s network of canals can also offer a unique opportunity for guests to travel by water through the canals.

Amsterdam is especially beautiful and scenic during spring where the countryside blooms with colourful flowers. With the tulips in bloom and spring in the air, there is no better place to be than in Amsterdam between the end of March and through the beginning of May.

When searching for a venue to accommodate your next event Amsterdam has several options. For larger conferences there are the following locations – The RAI Convention Centre, The Beurs van Berlage and The Westergasfabriek.

Additionally there are several larger hotels such as hotel Okura, NH Krasnapolsky and Hilton that can host all different kinds of conferences and setups, so you easily can feature a keynote speaker or other desired entertainment.

The Netherlands capital has been a centre of creativity and culture for centuries and there are plenty of sights and activities that visitors can engage in between meetings and conferences. Especially the many museums with cultural treasures are recommended by

Tom Wolters, Business Marketeer at Amsterdam Marketing.

“Amsterdam is home to many of the world’s most famous museums. No trip to the city is complete without at least a visit to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum or Anne Frank House.”

The combination of an old historic heart and sights together with new architecture and a brand new business district makes Amsterdam a unique destination. The residents in this cultural city are spirited, tolerant, friendly and colourful and invite visitors to come explore the city of Amsterdam. And while visiting a local must-try dish is Stamppot, which is a classic Dutch meal with mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables and served with meat and gravy.

Look forward to the taste, sights and experience of Amsterdam and consider it for your next business and meeting destination.
