LOCATION:
Living on the Oudezijds Achterburgwal means living in the heart of Amsterdam, on one of the city’s oldest and most atmospheric canals. You’re right in the historic city center, yet surprisingly peaceful.
Everything that makes city life so enjoyable is just around the corner: cozy cafés, excellent restaurants, boutique shops, supermarkets, and the wide range of stores including Kalverstraat and De Bijenkorf. Nieuwmarkt, the Rembrandt House, museums, and other cultural hotspots are all within walking distance.
The apartment is ideally located between the North/South metro line and other metro lines, with Nieuwmarkt station just a short walk away. Via the Rokin and Dam stops, the North/South line takes you to Central Station or Station Zuid within just a few minutes. Tram lines 4, 13, 14, and 17 are also within walking distance, allowing easy travel throughout the city.
The canal itself, the Oudezijds Achterburgwal, is a unique place with a rich history dating back to the 14th century. Today, it offers a special mix of old-Amsterdam charm and modern city life.
In short: a fantastic location for anyone wanting to live in the true heart of Amsterdam, with everything within reach.
