Intel's Amsterdam office is unique — it's the only Intel site in the world focused entirely on logistics. It's devoted to receiving, storing, packing and shipping products to Intel's end-customers. In fact, the site ships 20 percent of Intel's total revenue and about 75 percent of its European revenue to more than 950 locations in 49 countries. The Amsterdam facility began operating in 1996, when Intel relocated its warehousing operations there. The move gave Intel's end-customers shorter delivery times than ever before.

The Netherlands is famous for many things: tulips, windmills, Dutch art and much more. Almost half of the Netherlands is land reclaimed from the ocean. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is the perfect blend of polished big-city attractions and cozy small-town comforts.

Full of 17th-and 18th-century architecture as well as modern architecture, tree-line canals and museums with world-famous art collections, Amsterdam has a strong history. The country's premier art museum is Rijksmuseum, where you'll find artwork by artists such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, as well as ever-changing exhibitions that are equally fascinating. The nearby Van Gogh museum is home to more than 200 of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings, many of them famous. These are just two of the museums located in this treasure trove of a city.
