    • Make a stroll in the Jordan (west of Prinsengracht). This area used to be inhabited by poor workers in the early 1900. Today many citizen have left this area, often due to the fact that the houses were too small and impractical for modern families. Instead lots of young people have take this area to their harts. Jordan still hosts a unique and friendly atmosphere with it’s open-minded people, small houses, shady brown-cafes (stop for a beer or two) and the most extraordinary little shops you can think off.

    If you have more time and feel like continue walking, the close-by area around Prinseneiland is also very neat, including old Store- and Warf houses and picturesque bridges.
