Sobre Jordaan

The Jordaan is free to explore and dates from 1612, when Amsterdam began building this working-class district as Het Nieuwe Werck on top of old ditches and paths. Narrow canals, low brick houses and tiny courtyards mark the district, which lies west of the Prinsengracht. Jordaan's name is most often traced to the French jardin, garden, which fits the tree-and-flower canal names, though another theory ties it to the river Jordan; the etymology is disputed.

Historia de Jordaan

The Jordaan was planned in the early 17th century for the craftsmen, immigrants and labourers who could not afford the canal ring, and its streets follow the lines of earlier ditches, which explains their odd angles compared with the strict Herengracht grid. The city filled in six canals in the 19th century, including the Rozengracht.

The district's history includes repeated unrest, with riots recorded in 1835, 1886, 1917 and 1934, and the February strike of 1941 against the German occupation began with meetings at the Noordermarkt. The Westerkerk, where Rembrandt was buried in 1669 in a grave whose exact location is unknown, stands at the district's edge. Hofjes, courtyard almshouses built for elderly women, survive behind plain doors, and many are now homes for artists and students. The Jordaan has shifted from working-class to expensive over the last decades, with galleries and restaurants replacing workshops.

Normas y etiqueta en Jordaan

The Jordaan is a residential district, and visitors are guests in front of people's windows and doors. The hofjes, such as the Sint Andrieshofje, are private courtyards that residents allow visitors to enter only in daylight hours, if at all, so treat signs as binding, keep voices low and do not photograph residents.

Jordaan streets are very narrow, with bicycles and delivery vans sharing them, and cyclists do not brake for tourists who stop in the road, so use the pavements. Market vendors at the Noordermarkt and Westerstraat expect visitors to handle produce gently and to pay by card or cash without haggling over food. Bars on Lindengracht and Westerstraat are often small, and evening noise is a local complaint, so leave quietly.

Consejos para visitar Jordaan

1
Jordaan visitors get the most from a slow loop that begins at the Westerkerk, follows Egelantiersgracht to the hofjes, and reaches Noordermarkt. The Saturday organic farmers' market and the Monday morning flea and textile market on Westerstraat are the two set events, though hours can change, so verify locally.
2
Jordaan cafes on Prinsengracht near Westermarkt are pricey and busy after the Anne Frank House, while side streets such as Tweede Tuindwarsstraat have small independent shops and lower prices. Brown cafes, the traditional Dutch pubs, serve coffee and apple pie at fair prices; tipping is not expected, and rounding up is enough. The district works well as a half-day between the museums and dinner.
