Best Hood For Hangin'

Best hood for hangin'
Home of the Albert Cuypmarkt and one of the city’s most energetic districts in the daytime, de Pijp is also a popular neighbourhood for evening sojourns.
So hot it smokes
This favourite neighbourhood for everyone from expats to immigrants, students to professionals, and the young & hip to the groovy and stylish, has been nicknamed everything from the Quartier Latin to Amsterdam’s ‘Village’, but its real name comes from the pipe-shaped form it takes on the map.
Adored for its laid-back, mixed atmosphere, people come here for the ethnic, the eclectic and the selection of relaxed hang-outs.
With a very residential density, de Pijp is not an area known for pumping clubs, but rather for its wide array of more chill alternatives.
Explore the city
Take a virtual stroll through de Pijp with Google Street View. Activate street view then select 'Albert Cuypstraat'.'
