Holland is well known for its passion for
football, but besides football, the Dutch enjoy a lot of other sports such as
hockey, skating and cycling. In 1928, Amsterdam hosted the Games of the 9th
Olympiad. The Olympic Stadium, built for the occasion, has been completely
restored and is now used for cultural and sporting events.
Amsterdam offers a diverse range of world-class
entertainment, and has for centuries been a leading centre of culture in
Europe. A variety of performances are staged in hundreds of venues throughout
the city. There is also plenty of low-cost entertainment, from the multitude of
street performers and live bands in bars and cafés.
