Located at what many consider to be one of the most beautiful spots in Amsterdam — the corner of Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht — Café Tabac is a popular pub known for its friendly staff and customers.
Located west of Amsterdam’s city center the Jordaan is an atmospheric, bohemian quarter with a labyrinth of narrow streets and picturesque canals.
It is peppered with small shops and galleries, restaurants and brown cafes.
Quenching thirst since 1624, Café Chris is the oldest pub in the Jordaan district, and one of the oldest pubs in all of Amsterdam.
The story goes that the builders of the nearby Westertoren, finished in 1638, got their wages paid at this place.
The Shelter City Hostel has re-opened. Completely renovated and upgraded. Open April through October.
