Amsterdam (pron. /ˈamsterdam/[1]; in olandese: /ˌɑmstər'dɑm/, pronuncia[?·info]) è la capitale e la maggiore città dei Paesi Bassi, nella provincia dell'Olanda Settentrionale. La municipalità di Amsterdam ha 826.659 residenti (al 2015) di oltre 170 nazionalità, mentre la popolazione che risiede nell'area metropolitana è di circa 2.289.762 persone. L'area al centro della città circondata dai canali del XII secolo è dal 2010 Patrimonio dell'umanità.
Amsterdam possiede uno dei maggiori centri rinascimentali di tutta l'Europa. Numerose costruzioni che risalgono al periodo tra il XVI e XVII secolo, conosciuto anche come Secolo d'oro, sono ora considerate monumenti storici e sono collocate intorno ad una serie di canali semicircolari. Questi cingono il vecchio porto che un tempo era affacciato sullo Zuiderzee, oggi un lago separato dal resto del mare e noto con il nome di IJsselmeer. La città è famosa per ospitare il Rijksmuseum (museo statale), il museo Van Gogh, il Concertgebouw, il Rembrandthuis, la casa di Anna Frank e un enorme numero di biciclette.
Amsterdam è anche famosa per il suo quartiere a luci rosse, il De Wallen, e i suoi numerosi coffee-shop autorizzati alla vendita di marijuana e di derivati della cannabis.
Il motto ufficiale della città è "Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig" ("valorosa, decisa, misericordiosa"). Le tre croci di Sant'Andrea sulla bandiera sono associate a queste tre parole, benché siano entrate in uso prima del motto.
