Oud-West
This hip neighborhood, with its fun restaurants, trendy boutiques, and concept stores, is the place to be if you want to mix with the locals. Kinkerstraat and Jan Pieter Heijestraat are good for shopping, while De Hallen, a former tram depot off Kinkerstraat, has been turned into a culinary and cultural hotspot with a buzzing food hall, art-house cinema, arts and crafts shops, and a hotel.
