Jordaan
Brown cafes, a houseboat and Saturday markets
The Jordaan lies west of the canal ring, a district of narrow streets and small canals with cafes on the corners.
Café Papeneiland has stood on the corner of Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht since 1642. Café 't Smalle on Egelantiersgracht has a terrace on the water and opens Monday to Thursday 14:00 to 00:00. Winkel 43 is known for its apple pie and has a terrace on Noordermarkt.
The Houseboat Museum on Prinsengracht shows what living on the canals is like. Electric Ladyland has a fluorescent, participatory environment and costs €5, with children under 12 free. The Amsterdam Tulip Museum on Prinsengracht is open daily 10:00 to 18:00.
Noordermarkt and Lindengracht both host street markets. Maloe Melo on Lijnbaansgracht is open Wednesday to Saturday from 21:00.
Getting there
The Jordaan is a walk west of Dam Square, and trams run along Rozengracht.
