We visited the Jordaan due a Trip Advisor recommendation. Wonderful little place for a stroll, lovely small cafe's & bars, great little quirky shops and generally a lovely atmosphere.

Loved this area! It's full of cute shops and restaurants. I could wander here for days and not get bored! Definitely worth spending some time exploring this area!

Residential are mainly, small canals, found little of interest walking through area. Busier streets surrounding the neighborhood have more to offer.

A great area to visit with its quaint streets and canals walked around the area and found the arcithecture interesting. Loved it.

We passed this area by when we were on a cruise and then paid a short visit, designers shops, historical buildings, canals and beautiful reflections! It has slightly different atmosphere from the central part of the city.

The Jordaan neigborhood has the look and feel of comparable upscale neighborhoods in London, NYC, Boston and Chicago where the young locals live and hang out. There are many nice restaurants and fun bars. At night, there are not a lot of tourists around as the Jordaan regains its Dutch character. Best of all, even without the mass of tourists,... More

There is plenty of history here and a dizzying array of things to see & do for all interests and ages. (In the link, you can scroll down to the 'streets and canals' section - yellow sublinks) to get a virtual feel for the area! You'll see that The Jordaan is nestled ammongst the Brouwersgracht (N)/ Leidsegracht (S)/ Lijnbaansgracht (W)... More

Bands on every other corner, people dancing in the street, vendors and food booths, the boat parade. I didn't even know what Queens Day was when I booked our trip last fall, but if there is anyplace more fun than the Jordaan on Queens Day, I'd like to know about it.

Nice slow fun boutique shopping,chilling food and treats. A must for a slow day and recover. Upmarket area and food to delight
