Jordaan, Historic neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Narrow canals lined with brick buildings intersect this central district, featuring small bridges and traditional Dutch architecture spanning several centuries.
The district emerged in the 17th century as a residential area for workers and immigrants, with approximately 80,000 people residing there by 1900.
The neighborhood maintains multiple galleries, museums, and markets, including the Noordermarkt where vendors sell organic produce and artisanal foods every Saturday.
Visitors can reach the district by taking tram lines 13 and 17 to the Westermarkt stop or walking ten minutes west from Amsterdam Central Station.
The district contains numerous hidden courtyards called hofjes, which formerly housed elderly women and now serve as peaceful gardens within the urban setting.
