Amsterdam’s East side is known for its colorful, multicultural atmosphere. You’ll find a fun offering of stores, cafes, and restaurants. Where Oost (East) looks like a genuine city neighborhood, the neighboring Watergraafsmeer feels a lot more relaxed, with homes built in the 1930’s for the (then rapidly growing) populace. Two streets that are key to these neighborhoods are de Middenweg and de Linneausstraat. Be sure to look around these streets, in the surrounding area. You’ll be amazed by what you find.
