KEY NEIGHBORHOODS

The Nine Streets

Overview

Lined with boutiques, vintage stores, restaurants and cafés, this micro-neighborhood forms part of the Canal Belt, the semicircular canals surrounding Centrum (Amsterdam’s old center). The canals that border the Nine Streets—Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht—are some of the most handsome in Amsterdam. And you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to hotels.

Jordaan

Overview

Formerly a working-class neighborhood, Jordaan is now home to artists, students and entrepreneurs, and while there are tourist attractions here (including museums dedicated to tulips, cheese and houseboats), its real soul is glimpsed by simply wandering its narrow streets and canals. Keep an eye out for hidden hofjes (courtyards), and browse the varied wares of Noordermarkt (open Saturdays and Monday mornings). Anne Frank Huis is just across the canal.
