Amstelveen has served as an agricultural settlement in the Amstelland area of North Holland since the Middle Ages. Long known as Nieuwer-Amstel, the municipality adopted its present name in 1964, reflecting the importance of its historic village centre. The Amstel flows along the eastern side of the municipality, while the extensive Amsterdamse Bos brings woodland and open recreation grounds close to the urban districts. Amstelveen is also home to the Museum Cobra, dedicated to the post-war CoBrA art movement. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Amstelveen relates to the wider Randstad.
