Then, as now, the city was a leading centre of finance and trade, with the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, founded in 1602, considered the oldest such exchange in the world.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:91\">Today, Amsterdam is a dynamic hub of modern business. The southern Zuidas district is a hotbed of innovation and the home of tech giants such as Tesla and Uber, while the Port of Amsterdam is one of the largest ports in Europe, handling a wide range of cargo, including containers, bulk goods, and breakbulk across the North Sea.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:91\">But Amsterdam is not all about business. Beyond the boardrooms of major banks and fintech startups is a city with a reputation for being unique. Cobbled streets crisscross between canals that move with the bobbing of colourful Dutch barges and houseboats. Bicycle bells are the soundtrack of the morning commute. Office blocks share the city with vast green spaces like the sprawling, tree-lined Vondelpark.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:103\"><strong>In this comprehensive guide to Amsterdam for business travellers, we delve deeper into navigating the city&#8217;s unique corporate landscape, offer our top tips for getting around, and pick out our top 3 things to see or do to make your trip unforgettable.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;#gettingthere&#8221; button_text=&#8221;How to Get to Amsterdam&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;BUTTON &#8211; Getting There&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#6D6E71&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;15px|30px|15px|30px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HEADER &#8211; Factfile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_5_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;%91%93&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Amsterdam Fact File<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Amsterdam-Coat-of-Arms-WEB.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;The seal of Chicago&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Amsterdam-Coat-of-Arms-WEB&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;IMAGE &#8211; City Shield&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;63%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;TEXT &#8211; Shield Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;10px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-3%||5%||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;%91%93&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The coat of arms of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-16px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;BODY &#8211; City Stats&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;5%|5px|5%|5px|true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;%91%93&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Languages<\/h4>\n<p>Dutch.
