The Jordaan is known for its charming Amsterdam atmosphere. It's wonderful to stroll through the narrow streets, along the canals, and past new restaurants and authentic cafés.

This neighborhood is home to a mix of artists, students, young entrepreneurs, and true Amsterdammers. If you're in the Jordaan, there are several hotspots you absolutely can't miss! Enjoy a leisurely Sunday brunch at Gs, with Bloody Marys, of course. For excellent salads, go to SLA And for a romantic evening with your sweetheart, you can dine at De Luwte. The hippest and most charming streets are Westerstraat, Tweede Anjeliersdwarsstraat, Tweede Tuinstraat, and Tweede Egelantiersdwarsstraat. Here you'll find restaurants with almost every cuisine, excellent takeout shops, charming concept stores, and old-fashioned Amsterdam cafés. Our Jordaan Guide lists all these hotspots for you!
