Driving Downtown - Amsterdam 4K - The Netherlands
Sunset summer drive around Amsterdam, Venice of the North, in the Netherlands. Known for canals, bicycles, Heineken beer, house boats, Van Gogh, coffee shops of a certain variety, the neon light districts.. So much more to the city and the Netherlands in general. The term Venice of the North refers to various cities in Northern Europe that contain canals, comparing them to Venice, Italy, which is renowned for its canals. The architecture is amazing. Narrow tall homes (a good reason for this...article in the comments). High standard of living as well. I'd love to live here for a while.

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are numerous bike paths. ― Google
Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city of the Netherlands with a population of 872,680 within the city proper, 1,558,755 in the urban area and 2,480,394 in the metropolitan area. Found within the province of North Holland, Amsterdam is colloquially referred to as the "Venice of the North", due to the large number of canals which form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Amsterdam was founded at the Amstel, that was dammed to control flooding; the city's name derives from the Amstel dam. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, and became the leading centre for finance and trade. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19-20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Sloten, annexed in 1921 by the municipality of Amsterdam, is the oldest part of the city, dating to the 9th century.
Amsterdam's main attractions include its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, the Concertgebouw, the Anne Frank House, the Scheepvaartmuseum, the Amsterdam Museum, the Heineken Experience, the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Natura Artis Magistra, Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, NEMO, the red light district and many coffee shops. It drew more than 5 million international visitors in 2014. The city is also well known for its nightlife and festival activity; with several of its nightclubs (Melkweg, Paradiso) among the world's most famous. Primarily known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled façades; well-preserved legacies of the city's 17th-century Golden Age. These characteristics are arguably responsible for attracting millions of Amsterdam's visitors annually. Cycling is key to the city's character, and there are numerous bike paths.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is considered the oldest "modern" securities market stock exchange in the world. As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters in the city, including: the Philips conglomerate, AkzoNobel, Booking.com, TomTom, and ING. Moreover, many of the world's largest companies are based in Amsterdam or have established their European headquarters in the city, such as leading technology companies Uber, Netflix and Tesla. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer. The city was ranked 4th place globally as top tech hub in the Savills Tech Cities 2019 report (2nd in Europe), and 3rd in innovation by Australian innovation agency 2thinknow in their Innovation Cities Index 2009. The Port of Amsterdam is the fifth largest in Europe. The KLM hub and Amsterdam's main airport, Schiphol, is the Netherlands' busiest airport as well as the third busiest in Europe and 11th busiest airport in the world. The Dutch capital is considered one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with at least 177 nationalities represented.
A few of Amsterdam's notable residents throughout history include: painters Rembrandt and Van Gogh, the diarist Anne Frank, and philosopher Baruch Spinoza.

its amazing how smart the traffic lights in amsterdam are. Notice how the arrows will only open for the turn that has cars waiting! You don't see green waves but you see very short wait times and various lights just turning green as you aproach. The most bike/pedestrian friendly in the world also cares for drivers confort... this city is truly something else.

Thank you for this, J! The Netherlands is an amazing country. I lived outside Venlo for a couple years in my 20’s. I miss it dearly.
Im from Amsterdam. Let me tell u one thing, its not a city that is supposed to be explored by car! Instead you should explore it by bicycle or by walk, or by boat :)

Indeed... ditch the car.. too much hassle
It is the capital and the principal commercial and financial centre of the Netherlands. To the scores of tourists who visit each year, Amsterdam is known for its historical attractions, for its collections of great art, and for the distinctive colour and flavour of its old sections, which have been so well preserved.
Sunset colors makes everything better!😍 There is something really appealing about the streets close to the canals.

Kudos to you for driving here. I have a few years ago and not fun when its busy and few "hundred" bicycles everywhere you turn. The tour of the Heineken brewery was great if you can get the chance. To add, also check out the Art Museums, fantastic!

I find it much easier to go anywhere on bicycle in the Netherlands than with car, moreover in the city center
I never noticed the bullets in the sky on Damrak before.

Gran video!... Excelente calidad de imagen. Hermosa ciudad!... Me llama la atención que hay luz natural pero los vehículos tienen luces encendidas, ¿es obligación circular con luces encendidas?... Saludos
A beautifully captured late summer evening in the truly lovely city of Amsterdam. A video worthy of the city. Good job👍.
Hey, beautiful views. What camera do you use to record your videos?
This video is something else. It seems like one but It has its own attracting power.This video is just amazing!!!!!
Brilliant video! Would you let me know what camera has been used to shoot this? Greetings from Australia.
Very nice video 👍🏻, for me it's not that busy at all. It can be much more busy there, on which day was it captured?

So good!
I just want to live there... Beautiful!!!
Amsterdam is tooo good mannn 😭❤️

Os prédios constituem-se de térreo e três andares. Tenho a impressão que ficaria perdida quando saísse, sem saber em qual prédio estaria hospedada, caso perdesse a numeração. Mas são todos lindos de fato e, o número de bicicletas dá para suprir todos os habitantes. Apesar de ser o país de Van Gogh, não vi museu ou galeria referente ao mesmo. Também senti falta do comércio, bares, restaurantes, shoppings, parques... Mas é um lindo país. Obrigada.
