The Jordaan is our favourite area in Amsterdam, as well as one of the oldest and most local areas in the city. With the Noordermarkt on mondays and saturdays, you'll find us here a couple of times a week. Wander around the Westerstraat, Tuinstraat and all the little streets in between to find great local pubs and stores. The Haarlemmerstraat is an upcoming street filled with concept stores and coffee spots.
