In the 17th century some prosperous citizens had houses built around an inner courtyard. Those places were meant for old and poor people.
You have to enter a door and a corridor before you come on an inner courtyard from where you can enter each little house. Many courtyards have a lovely garden and are really worth a visit.
Some courtyards that you can visit:
Lindenhofje, Lindengracht 94-112
Suykerhofje, Lindengracht 149-163
Claes Claesz, Eerste Egelantiersdwarsstraat 3
Raepenhof, Palmgracht 28
Bossehofje, Palmgracht 40 Leave a Comment Directions: Jordaan

 Have a seat and chill out by davequ
Along the Prinsengracht, below the bridge over Oude Leliegracht, are some tables right on the canal. The cafe above it has servers that will come down and bring you anything you want in the way of koffie, drinks, broodjes, etc.
It's very peaceful looking east down the small Leliegracht canal.
Ducks and small boats paddle by quietly and almost everyone seems to understand this is a place to chill quietly and relax.
I think they leave the ugly-coloured plastic chairs there because they are so awful no one will steal them. But the canal is beautiful and peaceful and the food & drinks are very good. Leave a Comment Address: Prinsengracht over Oude Leliegracht next 2 JordaanDirections: Example: if you exit Anne Frank Huis, take an immediate right and walk north 1/2 a block to the very next bridge, you see what is in the picture I took.

 DE JORDAAN AMSTERDAM.... by eden_teuling
Its old houses and canals provide the visitor with a taste, a touch of typical AMSTERDAM.
Once it was a working-class area but now it is very sought-after, expecially the expensive converted warehouses.
The JORDAAN is now inhabited by a colourful mixture of the natives, the "JORDANEZEN", students and well-to-do businessmen.
The 17th Century district with its own traditions and its own informal and relaxed atmosphere has many narrow streets and picturesque canals.
The Jordaan offers a wealth of unique SHOPPING opportunities....it has many fashion boutiques, small speciality stores and indoor markets, among which DE LOOIER. This is the largest permanent indoor ART & ANTIQUES center of the Netherlands with over 85 stalls.
Close to the WESTERTOREN on the PRINSENGRACHT you will find the ANNE FRANK HOUSE MUSEUM: follow this LINK , which will take you there immediately!
There aren't many spectacular major MUSTS here but THE JORDAAN itself is remarkable! Leave a Comment Phone: 0900 400 40 40

 Walkin' to the station by davequ
Here is not a cure but something that will help a little:
Walking through virtual Amsterdam
At this site, Harrie van der Haghen has created a true virtual walk through most of Amsterdam Center's streets.
While not as large an area as covered by Channels.nl's "taxi", all blocks and angles are covered in photos. There are even different resolutions to choose based on your bandwidth to save time for dialup users.
Using the link above I actually can walk from my A'Dam hotel on Gravenstraat, down or up Nieuwendijk from the Dam all the way to Centraal Station, through the Jordaan, etc. block-by-block, stop and look or walk in any direction.
When I get the "I miss Amsterdam" blues, I can now virtually walk out my hotel door, down the small narrow street/alley behind Nieuwkerk to the Jordaan looking around and taking side trips as I like, just like I was there.
Kind of a cool site,
Not the real thing, but not bad.
Check it out. Leave a Comment Address: Pick your own and start "walkin'"Directions: Concentrates on Centrum from Amsterdam Centraal Station South to the 'Dam including parts of the Jordaan. More to come later I hope.Website: http://www.zien.info

 Tante Leen, Manke Nelis,
Johnny Meijer & Johnny by pieter_jan_v, 3 more photos
A good startpoint is a place the locals named The Johnny Jordaanplein (at the South of the middle of the Nine little streets).
There you find the statues of the local singers Johnny Jordaan and Tante Leen and musians Johnny Meijer and Manke Nelis.
In the nearby café you can sing along with the local Dutch songs.
At the Westerkerk church (Singel canal side) a plaque of the famous singer Willy Alberti can be found. Leave a Comment
