Amsterdam  

The Historic city of Amsterdam is proud to host the 1^st joint meeting of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis and the European Peritoneal Dialysis Meeting. The Dutch capital, Amsterdam, justly famous for its canals, is truly picturesque, featuring streets lined with old trees, impressive 17^th century mansions, town houses and a thousand charming old bridges. This unforgettable center of history and culture offers fine museums such as the Rijksmuseum, with its outstanding collection of Rembrandt paintings, the Stedelijk museum, famous for its modern art, and the Vincent van Gogh museum boasting a collection of the master's most famous paintings.

Not only is Amsterdam steeped in history, it is also a vibrant and lively place to enjoy in the present times. The people, who are naturally friendly, tolerant and cosmopolitan, welcome visitors to explore the narrow old streets, the cosy and inviting cafés and resaurants. But most of all, to partake of their finest gift: their warm hospitality, which is unmatched anywhere else in the world.
