Things to do in De Pijp | A Cool and off-the-beaten-path neighborhood of Amsterdam<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a bit of a mystery surrounding the name of this southern district of the Dutch capital. Maybe it refers to the narrow streets looking like pipes or to the gas company that used to supply the district with power. Or even the ditch which used to bisect the area, now filled in and renamed \u201cAlbert Cuypstraat\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name itself might be a riddle, but when it comes to the top things to do in De Pijp, we know the answer \ud83d\ude0e\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

De Oude Pijp and Nieuwe Pijp \ud83c\udfa8<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find the area of Amsterdam known as De Pijp in the south of the central canal district and east of the city\u2019s most famous museums, the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This area actually consists of 2 distinct neighborhoods: De Oude Pijp and Nieuwe Pijp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This district was developed in the 19th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup> centuries to create more housing for the overflowing district of Jordaan while still allowing easy access to the center of Amsterdam. Originally, students, poor artists and other bohemian types looking for a cheap room to rent in the city preferred it. Even thought it was considered an undesirable place to live in Amsterdam for a long time, in the last couple of decades, it\u2019s transformed into a popular and very hip neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
