the Jordaan district, Amsterdam

I love the Jordaan - it feels like a place that has the ‘right’ urban environment… intensely developed but on a noble human scale - with a great mix of residential and commercial uses side by side with friendly public spaces. It is criss-crossed by canals and liberally dotted with trees! The buildings have texture and character - each one is individually different but at the same time they all seem coherent!  An amazing place to go for breakfast and chill out.
