Immerse yourself in the charm of Amsterdam's artistic quarter: The Jordaan, undoubtedly the most sung about, described and romanticized town district of the Netherlands.
The Jordaan, firstly called 'het nieuwe Werck' (the new work), was build in the seventeenth century for the poorer citizens and craftsmen. It was planned at the west side of the 'grachtengordel' (main canals), which was built for the rich businessmen. Today the Jordaan - with its many restaurants, bars, art galleries and shops - is the place to be for students, artists and young professionals.
