The location 

Regularly voted as one of the most popular destination cities in the world, Amsterdam is brimming with culture, history, and activities to fill your evenings with. This so called ‘urban village’ is one of the world’s smallest capital cities, meaning that visitors and tourists can access nearly all of it on a bike ride, walking tour, or via public transportation in just a few days – perfect to fit in your Aquatech schedule!

As well as hosting the largest historical inner city in Europe, Amsterdam features unique museums, such as Anne Frank’s house, and the Rijksmuseum. The beauty of Amsterdam’s floating city doesn’t finish in the canals, it is truly a city for artists, with the Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandthuis, and Stedelijk Museum within the city.
