The Jordaan, home to art galleries, restaurants and boutiques
The famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn lived once in The Jordaan. The Jordaan district remains the artistic area of Amsterdam occupied by artists, students, and young entrepreneurs. This district is peaceful and vibrant at the same time. Stroll around the narrow streets and little canals, visit art studios, and historic buildings and experience the atmosphere of old-fashioned ‘brown’ pubs. The 9 streets of The Jordaan between Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, and Herengracht is where you’ll find some of the most unique independently owned boutiques and antique shops. On Saturdays you will find the Lindenmarkt, a general market on the Lindengracht and on Mondays, a flea market at the Noordermarkt. When you are at the Noordermarkt you must try one of the best Dutch apple pies of Amsterdam on the terrace of cafe Winkel, with a beautiful view of the 17th Century church the ‘Noorderkerk’.
