Amsterdam’s Jordaan is probably the most famous neighbourhood in The Netherlands. Akin to the reputation enjoyed by London’s 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, speciality shops and upwardly-mobile residents to its higgledy-piggledy scenic streets.

The Jordaan is nothing but highlights. Maze-like streets offer hidden courtyards, cafés (both traditional and trendy), art galleries and pleasantly nosy neighbours. One also has access to some of the most scenic outdoor markets in the country. In particular,Noordermarkt has a flea market on Monday mornings and an organic farmers’ market on Saturdays.

There are many more modern, trendy bars around Noordermarkt and along Westerstraat and Rozengracht. The side-streets that run south of Westerstraat have recently developed into a strong culinary district with some of the city’s more highly regarded restaurants.
