Neighbourhoods and area's to visit

Just beside the Wester-church and the Anne Frank House this is our favourite neighbourhood in Amsterdam. You'll find in its small streats and squares (Noordermark, Lindengracht, Elandsgracht) the nicest bars, restaurants, markets, galeries, closed gardens (hofjes), etc. Of course also the canals nearby and the Haarlemmerdijk are worth a visit.

Great shopping in smaller shops (away from the department store chains you won't be able to avoid if you chose the Kalverstraat/Damsquare area).
