Discover one of the most charming areas of Amsterdam off the beaten path. Just beyond the main tourist center and canal ring, you can find the attractive Jordaan district, a former working class neighborhood with red brick homes and workshops from the 1700s till today. In the 19th century it was even a densely populated slump. From the 1990s the district was restored and became one of the most popular areas to live today. The Jordaan is characterized by narrow streets and canals lined with modest houses with tiny gardens in the front, hidden courtyards and quirky independent shops and restaurants Even after some gentrification, the Jordaan still boasts a cozy, warm atmosphere thanks to the people living there. Up north, we find the picturesque residential area of the Westelijke Eilanden, a former harbour disctrict that is turned into a haven for artists and non-conformists alike. Cross the bridges connecting the islands, and enjoy the view of historic warehouses turned into residences.
We start our tour at the Westermarkt, by the statue of Anne Frank. I will show you the Anne Frank House from the outside, before we begin our visit in the southern part of the Jordaan. Here, I will tell you all about the history of folk singers, cafes and houseboats. Then we walk through the area where the locals live in peace, before we head to narrow canals, lively streets and attractive courtyards. Around the Noordermarkt, we have a drink in a local café, before we proceed to the Prinseneiland in the Westelijke eilanden area. This unique former harbour district almost feels like a small town inside the city. After a relaxing stroll here, we walk back towards the Westermarkt where we started our tour. This tour can be customized to your wishes.
