De Pijp (Pipe) is a hip neighborhood known for its cafes, the Albert Cuypmarket and the Heineken Experience. There has been a Bohemian feel to it since the 60s. It is known as the Latin Quarter of Amsterdam.

Jordaan is one of the favorite neighborhoods of Amsterdam for tourists. Peaceful with narrow streets and little canals. Art studios, old-fashioned "brown" pubs, boutiques and galleries. Once a working-class district, the Jordaan is now one of Amsterdam’s most charming and exciting neighbourhoods, boasting a range of the city's best cultural offerings. Jordaan has a residential feel to it. Many feel the best way to experience Jordaan is not to head for the usual tourist spots but to walk around like a local. But it is hard to avoid those tourist spots that include the Anne Frank House, the Noorderkerk, Westerkerk and the Houseboat Museum.
