Neighborhood Vibe

Cobblestone lanes along canals where bicycles weave between humpback bridges. The leaning facades of 17th-century houses reflect in the still waters of the Prinsengracht while the scent of warm stroopwafels drifts from the Noordermarkt.

Discover on foot

Start at the Westerkerk and the Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht. Explore the Jordaan lanes passing through the Negen Straatjes (nine little streets), lined with vintage shops and cafes. Discover hidden hofjes by pushing open courtyard doors. Head to the Noordermarkt for the market, then walk along the Brouwersgracht, often considered Amsterdam's most beautiful canal. End at the Westerpark, a former gas works turned cultural space. The Jordaan is lived like a village, by bike or on foot.
