Swiftly, the city expanded its business and became the country’s biggest commercial town and port. After the Second World War, urbanization accelerated and suburbs were built at a rapid speed. Buildings were made into monuments, bridges were built, and three of Amsterdam’s bridges were turned into a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.From the breath-taking architecture, to the booming nightlife, Amsterdam provides something for everyone to take back.
