Street in Amsterdam
Jordaan
The Jordaan is Amsterdam’s most charming canal neighborhood, a former working-class district now filled with independent boutiques, brown cafes, galleries, and houseboats. Free to wander. The Noordermarkt hosts a farmers market on Saturdays and a flea market on Mondays. Budget travelers walk the narrow streets along the Prinsengracht and Bloemgracht canals and discover a quieter, more local Amsterdam away from the Red Light District crowds.
