Description
Jordaan - Amsterdam by Allen Beatty
Amsterdam's Jordaan is probably the most famous neighbourhood in the Netherlands. Akin to the reputation enjoyed by Londons Cockneys, this once working-class bastion was renowned for tight community bonds, radical politics and a love for drink and over-the-top sing-a-longs. Gentrification of decades past has worked to attract more galleries, restaurants, specialty shops and upwardly-mobile residents to its higgledy-piggledy scenic streets.
The Jordaan is nothing but highlights. Maze-like streets offer hidden courtyards, caf(both traditional and trendy), art galleries and pleasantly nosy neighbours. One also has access to some of the more scenic outdoor markets in the country. In particular, Noordermarkt has a flea market on Monday mornings and an organic farmers' market on Saturdays.
