Serviced Apartments in Amsterdam

About Amsterdam

Founded in the late 12th century, Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands. It grew from a quaint fishing village to become the thriving hub of financial and cultural activity it is today.

Amsterdam has a large historic city centre, dating largely from the 17th century. At that time, a series of concentric semi-circular canals, known as ‘grachten’, were dug around the old city centre along which houses and warehouses were built. The canals still define Amsterdam's layout and appearance today with rows of fine houses and mansions situated along the banks.

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is less than 20 minutes by train from Amsterdam Central Station and just over an hour from airports in London, UK. Holland is served by excellent public transport at local and national level and it is usually the preferred method of travel. The majority of serviced apartments Amsterdam has to offer are near transport links of some kind.
