Stop At: The Jordaan, Amsterdam The Netherlands
The tour goes through the 17th century Jordaan neighbourhood. A former working-class area with a turbulent past that is now one of the most popular neighbourhoods among the residents because of the typical Dutch ‘gezelligheid’. With its small streets, charming houses , flowery canals and family run boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, everyone feels at ease here.
