Amsterdam:
After close of play at the conference you
can immerse yourself in history, art, and culture at
one of the worlds
most beautiful cities and boasts multiple attractions
for the business traveller. Amsterdam's quintessential
Dutchness shines through: the 17th- and 18th-century
architecture, the fleets
of bicycles, the tree-lined canals and scattered
parks all contribute to the mood of the city.
Amsterdam was founded on a dam on the river Amstel in
the thirteenth century. During the Reformation it rose
in stature, taking trade away from Antwerp and becoming
a haven for its religious refugees. Having shaken off
the yoke of the Spanish, the city went from strength
to strength in the seventeenth century, becoming the
centre of a vast trading empire with colonies in Southeast
Asia. Amsterdam accommodated its expansion with the cobweb
of canals that gives the city its distinctive and elegant
shape today. By the eighteenth century, Amsterdam was
in gentle decline, re-emerging as a fashionable focus
for the alternative movements of the 1960s. Despite a
backlash in the 1980s, the city still takes a uniquely
progressive approach to social issues and culture.
