Bos & Lommer and De Baarsjes are becoming increasingly popular. As well as pop-up shops and boutiques, you can find the best döner kebabs on every street corner.
Are you looking for a friendly atmosphere and unique shops, and do you want to see for yourself just how creatively Amsterdammers are transforming their neighbourhood? Then this is the place for you. Until a few years ago, not much was happening here, but now it’s hip and happening. The great thing is that, through initiatives such as ‘Geef om de Jan Eef’, residents and business owners are taking responsibility for upgrading their neighbourhood themselves, meaning run-down streets are a thing of the past. Now the neighbourhood is buzzing with fun initiatives, eateries, pop-up shops and weekend markets. It’s a lovely place to shop. There aren’t any really big chain stores; all the more room there is for small, original shops.
