Seventeenth-century working class houses that are completely renovated, old brown pubs that are now trendy coffee bars (not to be confused with the good old Dutch Coffeeshop where you’ll find drugs) and trendy pubs where you can get a nice glass of champagne.

The neighborhood has been home to the Albert Cuyp Market (and plenty of kebab shops) for decades, but only in the past decade has it grown to be one of the city’s coolest hotspots—and surprisingly as of yet undiscovered by many tourists. Get a coffee at one of the many Coffee Company cafés (a local chain), visit one of the bio/organic supermarkets or stop in for a healthy snack at SNCKBR.
