From the seventeenth-century canal belt to the narrow alleys around the Nieuwmarkt: this is where Amsterdam began, and it is still the busiest part of any city in the Netherlands.","wijk_buurten":"","wijk_sectie_1_titel":"The character of Centrum","wijk_sectie_1_tekst":"Centrum is the historic core of Amsterdam: the canal belt, the Wallen, the Nieuwmarkt and the Westelijke Eilanden all belong to it. The four main canals, Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, were dug during the Golden Age and have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2010.\n\nOn the Nieuwmarkt stands De Waag, a fifteenth-century gatehouse and one of the oldest buildings in the city. Nowhere else in Amsterdam do you walk so easily from the Middle Ages to the present day.","wijk_sectie_1_afbeelding_id":"36279","wijk_sectie_2_titel":"Living in Centrum: homes and price level","wijk_sectie_2_tekst":"The homes are often in listed seventeenth-century canal houses: narrow, deep and with steep stairs, exactly as the merchants had them built. A lift is the exception, a roof terrace with a view over the canals a much-loved bonus.\n\nBecause of the listed status and the location in the heart of the city, Centrum is one of the most expensive areas of Amsterdam. Renovating is possible, but often only with permission from the heritage authorities (Monumentenzorg).","wijk_sectie_2_afbeelding_id":"36280","wijk_sectie_3_titel":"Shopping, eating and relaxing","wijk_sectie_3_tekst":"The Negen Straatjes, nine side streets between the Prinsengracht and the Singel, are full of independent boutiques, vintage shops and coffee places. On the Nieuwmarkt itself you will find one of the oldest markets in the city, with a terrace in front of almost every facade.\n\nFor an evening out you never have to go far: from drinks on the water to one of the many restaurants in the city centre, everything is within walking distance.","wijk_sectie_3_afbeelding_id":"36281","wijk_sectie_4_titel":"Getting around from Centrum","wijk_sectie_4_tekst":"Amsterdam Centraal is literally around the corner: all trains and almost every tram and metro line in the city come together here. Rokin metro station (line 52, Noord\/Zuidlijn) and Nieuwmarkt metro station (lines 51, 53 and 54) are both in the heart of the area.\n\nCycling is the fastest way through the narrow streets, and by car you are more at the mercy of one-way traffic and paid parking than of the ring road.","wijk_sectie_4_afbeelding_id":"36282","wijk_sectie_5_titel":"Who is Centrum right for","wijk_sectie_5_tekst":"Centrum attracts affluent buyers, expats and investors who want to live right in the heart of the city, often as a pied-\u00e0-terre alongside a family home elsewhere. For anyone looking for peace or a garden for the children, Centrum is a less obvious choice: the area is busy and touristy all year round.\n\nBut if you love the city as it is, with all the noise and beauty that come with it, you will find more history under one roof here than anywhere else in Amsterdam.","wijk_sectie_5_afbeelding_id":"36283","wijk_faq_1_vraag":"Is Centrum an expensive area to buy in?","wijk_faq_1_antwoord":"Centrum is one of the more expensive areas of Amsterdam. The listed status of many canal houses and the location in the heart of the city mean a high price per square metre.","wijk_faq_2_vraag":"Is Centrum suitable for families?","wijk_faq_2_antwoord":"Centrum is especially popular with affluent buyers, expats and investors. For families looking for peace and space, the area is a less obvious choice because of the crowds and tourism.","wijk_faq_3_vraag":"How do I get to Centrum by public transport?","wijk_faq_3_antwoord":"Amsterdam Centraal is in the middle of the area, with all trains and almost every tram and metro line in the city nearby, including Rokin metro station (line 52) and Nieuwmarkt (lines 51, 53 and 54).","wijk_tips_titel":"Tips from Micha","wijk_tips_tekst":"Our office is on the Singel, so the city centre is my everyday surroundings. Just around the corner, near the Spui, is Caf\u00e9 De Dokter, one of the smallest caf\u00e9s in the city and a caf\u00e9 since 1798. For coffee and cake, De Koffieschenkerij is a lovely spot, in the former sacristy of the Oude Kerk, with a courtyard garden. Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal shows a complete church in the attic of a canal house, dating from 1663. And for a quiet moment there's the Wertheimpark in the Plantage, with Jan Wolkers' Nooit meer Auschwitz monument.","wijk_tips_afbeelding_id":"36921","wijk_faq_werken":"Yes, a lot.
