What you'll see
A village-like grid of small canals and lanes west of the ring: hidden almshouse courtyards, galleries, brown cafés and street markets, with a market on the Noordermarkt on Monday and Saturday mornings (check).
A brief history
It was built in the 1600s as a working-class district for the craftsmen and immigrants who served the rich canal houses next door.
