About Amsterdam
Capital of the Netherlands, a canal city near the North Sea, and a trading centre for four centuries. Its small home market is offset by a long habit of connecting other people's traffic.
Population about 1,200,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Amsterdam is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
