Jordan - atmosphere of old Holland

What to expect

Area proud of its 'uniqueness'
'An Amsterdammer does not understand a Jordaneer, whose city has its own map, because this is a city within a city.' To unravel the mystery carved on a memorial plaque, let's talk a little about history, as there were moments when the Jordaan not only opposed Amsterdam, but the entire country. You will learn how life was arranged here over the centuries and how holidays were celebrated. We will try to understand what Jordaan humor is all about. Maybe even learn a couple of songs. You will encounter many amazing little shops and galleries, a mouse house, and a circus acrobat. We will help you find the most unusual house in the city - it is always different, so it will not be easy! And near the oldest bars, you will learn what kind of relationship a funeral parlor has with them. And, of course, you will try something - how could you not? :)

Unique atmosphere of the Jordaan
A walk through the district is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the medieval romance of West Amsterdam. Along the canals, streets are lined with greenery; in the courtyards, you can discover objects from the distant past; and on the front porches in the morning, locals greet the new day with a cup of coffee and a newspaper... They say that two Jordaneers will always recognize each other even on the other side of the Earth, and they will always stand up for each other - such amazing and beautiful people live here.

🧀 🥖 And if we are lucky enough to go on a tour on a Saturday, we will visit the best farmer's market in Amsterdam. You will taste some things, and some you will have to take with you. But leaving here without making a purchase is definitely not an option.
