Neighbourhoods
The nicest neighbourhoods in Amsterdam
Each neighbourhood has its own atmosphere. From chic in Old South to creative in North. I have listed the nicest neighbourhoods for you.
Bos en Lommer & De Baarsjes
After a metamorphosis, this part of West still has a raucous feel, but now with vintage shops and other hip businesses.
Centrum
The city centre is more than Kalverstraat and the Red Light District. Discover unusual eateries, medieval locations and tranquillity on the canals.
De Pijp
One of Amsterdam's liveliest neighbourhoods, around the Albert Cuyp market. With a great selection of foreign eateries.
Jordaan & De Negen Straatjes
For lovers of brown pubs and the Dutch folk song, but also fun because of its monumental buildings and hip shops.
Noord
A boat trip across the IJ and you will find yourself in the city's hippest neighbourhood, loved for its special industrial atmosphere.
Oost & Watergraafsmeer
From multicultural Javastraat to Watergraafsmeer's stately streets and hip coffee shops, East stands for diversity.
Oostelijk Havengebied
Here you can get a breath of fresh air along the IJ banks while enjoying new and old architecture.
Oud-West
This is the district for quirky, creative shops and eateries. With the lively centrepiece being the Hallen, especially for foodies.
Oud-Zuid
Here you will find chic boutiques and posh restaurants for 'the rich and famous', as well as Amsterdam's most important museums.
Westerpark
The Westergas area is buzzing with culture, creativity and festivals. The surrounding park is super cosy in summer.
