West

Amsterdam-West is a multifaceted neighborhood where history and innovation come together. The lively Oud-West buzzes with cozy boutiques, outdoor cafes, and the popular Foodhallen. To the north, the characteristic Spaarndammerbuurt breathes the atmosphere of historic Amsterdam School architecture. Right next to it lie the brand-new Houthavens: a modern, climate-neutral island district on the IJ with impressive eye-catchers such as the Pontsteiger. Together, these neighborhoods form the dynamic, creative, and water-rich character of the Amsterdam West.
