Amsterdam’s Spiegelkwartier (mirror quarter) is an absolute must for lovers of art, antiques and curiosities with dozens of specialised dealers, thrift shops and design boutiques lining the historic streets. Nearby, the area surrounding Leidseplein pulls in punters from across the city each evening drawn to the lively bars, theatres and gig venues. Strolling around this leafy southern segment of the Canal Belt, you'll find a multitude of picturesque cafes, canal house museums with hidden courtyard gardens and quirky cultural attractions.
