What Amsterdam Travel experts say about the Jordaan Quarter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lonely Planet's "Amsterdam"  says  "The Jordaan  is the 'heart and soul' of the 'real' Amsterdam epitomized in schmaltzy oompah ballads, where life happens on the streets or in the corner pub (rather than in overcrowded houses) and where common folk still share their experiences; where houses are tiny but tidy, with lace curtains and flowers in window boxes,  and where living, working, shopping, schooling and entertainment are integrated in one neighborhood."   Lonely Planet's "Amsterdam" by Rob van Driesum and Nikki Hall, edition 2005, page 120, www.lonelyplanet.com  Enjoy it all while living in your own Amsterdam houseboat.

"The Time Out Guide to Amsterdam" says the Jordan Quarter is "Amsterdam's most characterful and charming neighborhood. The Jordaan is roughly sock-shaped, with often-disputed borders at  Brouwersgracht, Prinsengracht, Leidsegracht and Lijnbaansgracht...  Small and densely packed, a higgledy-piggeldy of old buildings (many of them listed as monuments), bland social housing and the occasional eyesore that has somehow sneaked past city planning. Despite its working-class associations, the properties are now highly desirable, and though the residents are mainly proud, community-spirited Jordaansers, the nouveaux riches are slowly moving in and yuppifying the 'hood'.   "The Time Out Guide to Amsterdam", 2005 edition, page 62.  www.timeout.com   Your Amsterdam houseboat is waiting for you....

Amsterdam is a city that enjoys world-class cultural events. For updated information about what's happening in Amsterdam pick up the monthly "Uitkrant" magazine at the library and some bookstores.  For our "reviews" of cafes and restaurants within walking distance from Prinsengracht Canal see our Amsterdam Favorites.


"Instead of Amsterdam hotels or Amsterdam apartments,  wouldn't you really enjoy your vacation renting an Amsterdam houseboat?"
