Neighborhoods in Amsterdam

"As the Jordaan overflowed with laborers in the 19th century, De Pijp evolved to accommodate the surplus. Known for narrow townhouses originally built to house low-income families, the neighborhood has been the home of students, artists, young professionals, and immigrants since the 1960s. Sometimes called “The Latin Quarter,” its cosmopolitan flair is evident in a pastiche of Syrian, Moroccan, Spanish, Indian, and Surinamese eateries, alongside Dutch pubs, Islamic butchers, and Turkish delicatessens. De Pijp’s diverse demographics are abundantly clear at the Albert Cuypmarkt, centerpiece of the neighborhood, where you can buy just about anything you never thought you’d find in the Netherlands. The district also encompasses Sarphatipark, a two-block rectangle of green with a lake, small bridges, and playground equipment. A 19th-century monument honoring Jewish doctor and philanthropist Samuel Sarphati, who fought city hall to see the park built, dominates the relaxed open space.Just north of Sarphatipark is what remains of the establishment that once permeated De Pijp with the fragrance of fermenting hops. Now an overpriced brewery-turned-museum, the Heineken Experience pays homage to a beer now produced by a multinational firm." - MATADOR_NETWORK

This is a neighborhood or "buurt" in Amsterdam. It is an exciting and vibrant place. It's super fun with lots of great restaurants and shops. A new metro stop here changes everything. They also stopped parking on many streets here so that makes it even nicer. It's not a 4 or 5 star neighborhood in Amsterdam, but anyone living there is fortunate indeed.

De Pijp is considered by many to be Amsterdam's Latin Quarter. It's a bit like Greenwich Village / the East Village in New York City, with a bohemian vibe that's beloved and inhabited by creative types. It's every bit as lively as its American counterpart, too. This neighborhood isn't overly touristy, so check it out to see how real Dutch residents live. That's not to say there aren't shops selling junky tchotchkes (the Heineken Brewery is here, after all), but there's a quirky mix of the multicultural, from the food, bars, and cafes that line the streets. The prettiest part of the area are the landscaped gardens at Sarphatipark (free). Spend some time lingering around and take slow, meandering strolls so you can adequately wander the neighborhood streets. There are delightful surprises around every corner if you just slow down and enjoy. Most important tip for those who love to eat: De Pijp is also home to the foodie fun zone known as the Albert Cuypmarkt street market. Go here for street food. It's good and cheap.

This is the station / area of Amsterdam where my friend lived. I think I was shocked how nice the station was. Such a great concept and innovative transportation system for those in the city.

De Pijp is a neighborhood in Amsterdam. Not far from the center of the city, but somewhat quieter. Lots of nice restaurants. The Albert Cuypmarkt and the Heineken Experience are here as well. Close to the Museum Quarter, probably closer than Dam Square is. A nice place for tourists, though the area isn't primarily tourism-focused.

I first became intrigued with the Pijp, because back in the day, I was writing my thesis on gentrification and revitalization. I thought it was interesting to see if gentrification in Amsterdam was similar to London and other big cities in America. Also, I enjoyed hitting up a few cool spots in the neighborhood. The Pijp is an convenient location to enjoy on any given day. However, keep in mind on Monday that shops don't open until 12:00. It's also a cool place to drop off your friends who are visiting Amsterdam. It's a fun environment to eat,shop, explore and become acquainted with the Dutch.

If you go to Amsterdam, unless you want a persistent image of hippies and stoners, get out of De Wallen or De Dam and head south. You'll see the more normal parts of the city that don't cater to drug or sex hungry students/deadbeats/tourists who crowd the streets there. De Pijp has a bit of everything - parks, museums, markets, and the regular part of the city that isn't catering to the tourists. It also has the Heineken experience - a must for any beer drinkers who come here. While I didn't believe it at first, Heineken in Holland tastes much sweeter and crispier than in the US - I'm guessing it has to do with the freshness. Eitherway, I drank my fill!

De Pijp, pronounced The Pipe, is a neighborhood of Amsterdam located south of the city center. Find streets named for Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Ruysdael and Vincent van Gogh. Here you will find the Albert Cuyp Market and the former Heineken brewery. If you want to experience a more relaxed, real Amsterdam, minus the frat boy, hen party, sex-starved, and stoned crowd, which is mostly tourists anyways, this area is a good option to stay at. To me, it's a lot more pleasant than the areas more popular with tourists.
