Jordaan is a neighbourbood in Amsterdam Centrum in the western part of the core city centre. I work nearby so there are some days when I would venture out on foot because of a dinner or drink at one of the many bars. When I am in the mood, I take pictures. Like last July I decided to walk to my dinner appointment and took these shots.
Come with me =)
There are lots of canals in Jordaan.
Amsterdam city living. Do not be fooled though, many people, especially students and foreigners live in tight rooms.
During summer when its good weather (yes, summer here can sometimes suck), guests prefer to eat outside.
The Westerkerk tower and typical Dutch architecture: brick work.
The streets and canals become the outside living room.
Party boats abound during summer as well.
At the bike traffic light. Police sometimes conduct bike checks. You get fined if you ride through red or do not have lights on when its dark.
Hanging out on the canals. Trivia: Did you know that drinking beer in public is now banned in Amsterdam centrum?
The canals in Amsterdam have its own charm. The canals can get very busy during summer.
This cafe terrace is on the brick bridge.
At the back of Magna Plaza (used to be the post office of Amsterdam) and the Dam Palace.
