Amsterdam Noord-Holland

	Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. Its name is derived from "a dam in the river Amstel", where the Dam Square is today. Amsterdam began as a small fishing village in the late 12th century but grew to become one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age, a result of its innovative developments in trade. During this time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds. Today the city is the financial and cultural capital of the Netherlands with many large Dutch institutions having their headquarters there, while 7 of the world's top 500 companies are based in the city. Amsterdam's main tourist attractions include its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House.
