Jordaan
Quiet canals and narrow streets, dating back to the 17th century – the district of Jordaan. That’s how Dutchmen manage to escape from the packed with tourists centre and avoid the hordes of sightseers, relaxing on a front stoop and chatting with their neighbour or in warmer weather, enjoying their dinner al fresco. The serene streets and unique architecture make the Jordaan ideal for strolling, especially on weekday mornings, when it's virtually deserted. Only recently has the region become a preferred perch of Amsterdam's yuppie population, making for an unusual mix of upscale eateries, down-home craft studios, and big cafes that fill up quickly in the evenings.
