Narrow streets, peaceful canals, and quaint 16th-century quarters make the Jordaan district one of the most scenic areas in Amsterdam.

Daytime attractions include novelty boutiques, art studios, and the Anne Frank Huis Museum, while a mix of less touristy bars and nightspots draw a continuous flow of local patrons who prefer the brown bars with their house party scene to the louder clubs in the city center.

On most nights, the taverns, upscale cafés, wine bars, and cocktail lounges in central Jordaan overflow with a well-dressed crowd of young professionals who often spill onto the street, creating a sociable, lively atmosphere.
