The old workers' quarter turned most-loved neighbourhood — narrow canals, hofjes courtyards, Monday and Saturday markets, and the highest density of brown cafés in the city. Amsterdam at its most romantic; rooms are small and go fast.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 2.Anne Frank House — The hidden annexe, kept empty as her father asked. You climb behind the bookcase and the war stops being history. Tickets are released six weeks ahead and sell out in hours — set an alarm; there is no queue to chance.
- 5.The Jordaan on foot — No sight to tick — just the finest wandering in the city. Cross the Brouwersgracht, find a hofje courtyard with its door ajar, follow the flower boxes. Saturday adds the Noordermarkt farmers' market.
- 6.An evening in a brown café — Wood-panelled, candle-lit, nicotine-stained-by-history — the Dutch pub perfected. Order a vaasje of beer and an old jenever, let the barman overfill it, and sip the first mouthful hands-free like everyone else.
