Performances in the magnificent opera house and dim sum in the bustling Chinatown make this cultural neighbourhood well worth a visit.
Diamant is the neighbourhood for you if you love culture and appreciate the charm of old, somewhat rough-around-the-edges neighbourhoods with character. South of Central Station lies the heart of the diamond trade, but the neighbourhood itself looks anything but chic with its maze of narrow streets. However, there are highlights to be found everywhere: the station itself is one of the most beautiful in the world, and if you’re travelling with children, you can visit the Zoo or the Stadspark. For a cultural evening, book tickets for the ballet or opera at the magnificent opera house. You can also immerse yourself in the vibrant Jewish community and sample the delicacies at Kleinblatt, one of the best kosher bakeries.
