About Amsterdam Tourism
Amsterdam, the capital of Netherlands, and also its largest city, is known for its rather lax laws. Its red-light districts and liberal drug laws have become legend.

And yet, Amsterdam is not all about its rather liberal culture. It was the home to renowned painter Rembrandt, and Vincent Van Gogh, who had briefly stayed there, is immortalized in Amsterdam through a museum dedicated to his early work.

Amsterdam is also a major fashion capital, housing big-name brands such as Gsus, G-Star, BlueBlood, Warmenhoven & Venderbos, and 10 Feet. Designers like Frans Molenaar, Marlies Dekkers, Mart Visser, and Viktor & Rolf call Amsterdam their home. And major modeling agencies are based there. Touche Models, Elite Models, and Tony Jones have their branches in Amsterdam, and the supermodels like Doutzen Kroes, Kim Noorda and Yfke Sturm had started out in modeling in Amsterdam. It is also home to the World Fashion Center.

Other bastions of culture include the Stedelijk Museum, and the Anne Frank House. It is home to most of the major religions in the world, from Judaism, Sunni Islam, Roman Catholicism, and even Calvinism, among others.

Amsterdam is truly a cosmopolitan city, and its melting pot culture attests to this.
