Excursions from Amsterdam Amsterdam is the official capital of the Netherlands and was founded in the 12th century as a small fishing village. Today, it is the largest city in Holland and an important financial and cultural center. Amsterdam‘s historic downtown dates mostly back to the 17th century and is one of the most beautiful and largest historic centers in Europe.
 Narrow streets with canals, bridges, houseboats, flowers, more than 7000 historic monuments, the Red Light district and street markets; that is Amsterdam.
 A trip through the traditional Dutch countryside will reveal cows and more cows. Also visit the quaint fishing villages of Volendam and Marken.
