The Best Neighborhoods

by Frommers Travel Guides
  • De Jordaan: Bounded by Brouwersgracht, Singelgracht, Prinsengracht, and Leidsestraat, this former artisan neighborhood has recently become gentrified. With its own small canals, street markets, and an array of minor attractions, it's a great place for random wandering.

  • De Wallen: Just below the low-life sin section of "The Walls" -- that is, the Red Light District -- is a contrast: this delightful southern district of Old Amsterdam encompasses tranquil canals lined with handsome 16th-century houses and the University of Amsterdam's bustling campus.
