Jordan

What was once a working-class neighborhood is now a cozy and trendy district packed with restaurants, stores and markets. Known for its narrow streets, canals and charming courtyards, the Jordaan is Amsterdam's most popular neighborhood.

Along the canals and in the narrow streets of the Jordaan are independent stores, cozy pubs and trendy eateries. Stalls at the Noordermarkt sell jewelry, clothes, antiques and organic food. Antiques Center Amsterdam sells old ceramics and paintings, while smaller galleries nearby focus on innovative modern art.
