Celebrating 750 Years of Amsterdam: A Year of Unforgettable Events!

In October 2025, Amsterdam will celebrate its 750th anniversary. Founded in 1275 as a small fishing settlement along the Amstel River, the city has evolved over the centuries into one of the most progressive and vibrant capitals in the world. With its charming streets, iconic canals, and a legacy of freedom and tolerance, Amsterdam is a city that embraces both history and modernity. And speaking of embracing, Amsterdam welcomes everyone who passes through.

The people living in Amsterdam, whether born here or not, hold a special affection for this place, and the reasons are varied. For some, it’s the youthful spirit that this 750-year-old lady still carries; for others, it’s the freedom that its breezes inspire. Regardless of the reason, the sense of belonging that one finds here lasts forever.

This is the theme of the celebration: Amsterdam 750 is "Voor Altijd." (Forever...). How you complete that sentence is entirely up to you.
