Spaciously laid out, green, and wonderfully quiet.
The Rivierenbuurt is the quiet, green counterpart to the bustle of De Pijp and Centrum. The area is part of Plan Zuid, the 1920s extension plan by architect H.P. Berlage, and owes its name to the streets that are each named after a Dutch river. Wide avenues, stately facades and a remarkable amount of greenery: if you live here, you live quietly and yet close to everything.

The area was built in the 1920s according to a strict street plan: three long avenues that meet at the Victorieplein, once the Daniël Willinkplein. On that square stands the Wolkenkrabber, the twelve-storey block of flats by architect J.F. Staal that was considered one of the first high-rise projects in the Netherlands at the time. Architects such as Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer built here in the characteristic Amsterdam School style: expressive brickwork, rounded bay windows and graceful details.
Before the war, a large part of Amsterdam's Jewish community lived here, including the Frank family on the Merwedeplein.

Do not expect little canal houses here, but wide 1920s and 1930s blocks with lots of brick and original details. Most homes are spacious apartments and two-storey upper-floor homes; in the quieter streets you will also find ground-floor homes with a garden.
The Rivierenbuurt is one of the more expensive areas of Amsterdam-Zuid: the combination of space, peace and a good location makes the area popular with buyers who do not want to compromise on square metres.
Shopping, eating and relaxing
The Maasstraat and the Rijnstraat are the area's shopping streets, with bakers, butchers and specialist shops that you have long stopped finding in the centre. On Thursdays there is the weekly market on the Rooseveltlaan.
For a drink on a terrace you go to one of the regular neighbourhood cafés, and around the RAI and the Europaplein there is always something going on. On the south side of the area is the Martin Luther King Park, one of the greenest places in the city.
Tips from Erik
Many of my tips in the Rivierenbuurt are around the Maasstraat. Patisserie Tout makes macarons in all kinds of flavours. At Rasoi you eat Indian food that is made entirely from scratch, without ready-made spice mixes. Café De Amstel on the Amstelkade has a terrace on the water of the Amstelkanaal. And for a walk outdoors there's the Martin Luther Kingpark on the Amstel, with play areas and, in summer, the De Parade theatre festival.

Tram 4 runs right through the area, from the Victorieplein via the Rijnstraat to Centraal Station and RAI station. Tram 12 stops at the Europaplein.
Europaplein metro station on the Noord/Zuidlijn and RAI station, with metro 50 and 51 and the train, are within walking distance and take you to the Zuidas or the centre in a few minutes. By car you are well placed too: the A10 ring road is quickly reached.

The Rivierenbuurt is a true family area: wide streets, lots of greenery and schools within walking distance. It also suits anyone who wants to escape the bustle of De Pijp or Centrum without living too far from the centre.
Looking for a compact starter apartment with lively terraces on the pavement? Then De Pijp, a few streets away, is probably a better match.
