The Jordaan District

The Jordaan is the most famous and sung-about neighborhood in Amsterdam, renowned for its history, culture, monuments, and inner courtyards ("hofjes"). You shouldn't miss this trendy area, located west of Amsterdam's canal belt, during your visit to Amsterdam. Park your car affordably in IJDock car park, and within 11 minutes you'll be in the heart of the Jordaan.

Wonderful Wandering

The best way to discover the Jordaan is on foot. Take a beautiful city walk while you enjoy the charming canal houses, bridges, and canals filled with boats. Be sure to stop for a drink in a typical Jordaan pub. Café Loewietje, known from the police series Baantjer, is a cozy "brown cafe" that is definitely worth a visit. Who knows, you might just be sitting on the stool of Vledder or de Cock!

The 9 Streets and Noordermarkt

Shopping enthusiasts can indulge themselves in the 9 Streets ("9 Straatjes"), a unique collection of boutiques, vintage shops, and trendy fashion stores.

Moreover, the Jordaan is located close to the Noordermarkt (Northern Market), a historical market where you can stroll wonderfully among antiques, organic products, and unique finds on Mondays and Saturdays.
