2. The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.

About Amsterdam

Amsterdam cinge il suo centro dell'età dell'oro di canali alberati, case a timpano e ponti, con grande arte e facili giri in bicicletta.

La cerchia dei canali, scavata nel Seicento, disegna intorno al centro storico archi concentrici: Herengracht, Keizersgracht e Prinsengracht, fiancheggiati da alte case di mercanti. Il Jordaan, subito a ovest, è un dedalo di piccoli canali, cortili, caffè scuri e negozi indipendenti, e la Casa di Anna Frank si trova sul Prinsengracht, ai suoi margini.

Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
